Monkey Mia

Yesterday, we drove the 160 km to Monkey Mia, via Denham. It was a very quiet and easy day, be it a bit blustery. Tropical Cyclone Nicholas is approaching Exmouth, which is about 600 km from where we are now. Winds have been pretty wild the last couple of days, but last night was one of the worst nights we had so far. Pieter and I hardly slept, as we were both worried our tents would be blown away. Fortunately, Emma and Janne (again) slept wonderfully and both tents are still there. To make sure we get a good nights sleep, we booked a cabin for tonight. In Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, that definitely not a bad thing! Today, we spent a leisurely day in the resort, having breakfast (blueberry pancakes), lunch (potatoe soup) and dinner (lemon prawns/ceasar salad) at the restaurant on the resort!
This morning, we did what Monkey Mia is famous for; we went to the beach to look at the wild dolphins that visit there every day. Janne even got to feed one of the dolphins! Besides the dolphins, we saw a lot of pelicans and several emu's. Because of Nichalos, we might end up spending at least one more night at Monkey Mia. There are worse places to be stuck, but still, we would prefer to be able to move on.
Another advantage of our luxurious day at the resort, is that we were able to upload some images to earlier posts. Hope you'll enjoy them :-)
