Day 119: Streaky Bay (Day 2: Olivia)

Today we went on a sea lion and dolphin snorkeling tour! I liked the sea lions more because they were so playful, like dogs! And when Olivia (our in water guide - not me) swam around in circles the sea lions copied her! When I was back on the boat (which was actually quite small) We had Milo and Mum and Dad who were still in the water found a dead Blue Ring Octopus!! Then we went to find some dolphins to swim with.

It took a while to find some dolphins and we were just about to give up and head back when we found some! We all quickly got in the water and were watching one when it swam away! Luckily, there were some others nearby, but it took a while to be close enough to see them (you aren't allowed to get closer to the animal than one metre, but the water wasn't the clearest) There was three of them but they all lost interest after a while so we headed back to have lunch. On the way back some dolphins followed us for a bit, swimming under and around the boat! One of them was called Firefox and he has a hole in its tail! Though they don't know how it got it. They are actually going to name there new (bigger) boat after him.

For lunch Theo and I, along with another kid, had home made chicken nuggets while the adults had a local fish called a Blue Morwong. It was so big that the one fish fed everyone! For dessert the adults had rhubarb, strawberry and blood orange pavlova and us kids had an ice cream. Theo and I had a Milo Ice Cream (we actually also tried the pavlova because mum told the chef I like rhubarb! - which I was unaware of). The lady next to me was from Canada! And some of the others were staying at the same caravan park (Islands Caravan Park) as us!
