Day 119: Streaky Bay (Day 2: Theo)

We did a sea lion tour where we got to swim with sea lions and dolphins. It was really fun. First we went to the sea lions, they were really funny and cute. If you swam in the opposite direction of them they might follow you. One of them played with a shell. But if you stood up above of the water (because it was pretty shallow) they would go away. There was a male sea lion that could attack you if you stood up. At the end Dad found an blue ringed octopus - we think it was dead, which is good because it has enough venom to kill a human. There is no antivenom for blue ring octopus.

Afterwards we went to the dolphin part. They didn't pop up until we were about to go back. They eventually popped up so we got in the water. But once we got in the water he went away again. But he came back with some friends. So we got to swim with the dolphins. I could hear the dolphins talking to each other using their echo location when it swam under me. The dolphins can get pretty big, 2-3 meters.

Then we got back in the boat and headed back to land. We got to have a hot shower then we had lunch. The kids lunch was chicken nuggets and the adults had fish. Afterwards the adults had pavlova and the kids had ice cream. Olivia and I also had a bit of pavlova.

After lunch Dad and I went down to the beach because there was lots and lots of crabs. Some of them had arms longer than their bodies.
