Bali Bound

Easter Sunday. We set off to Bali tonight. We've not done much this past week, apart from going into town to get Sam her Blundstones, that she's been after for ages.

Dad's been off ill for the past few days. It's not like him to be ill at all, but he was up and about by yesterday. We all went out, down to Doctors Gully to feed the fish. We arrived too early, so went to the museum which Sam and I had been meaning to do for ages. It's a good museum, they have, a variety of exhibitions. Stuff from the typical Aboriginal stuff you'd imagine, through natural history to the Cyclone Tracy displays. We got to see Sweetheart also, the imfamous giant salt water croc they caught.

After the museum we went back to feed the fish. They have built steps and a slope down into the sea. At a set time every evening hundreds of big fish swarm around the area waiting to be fed. They provide you with bread to feed them by hand. As the water rises up around your feet the fish will happily swim around you. It was great fun being so close to them, literally able to reach out and touch them.

After fish feeding we went to the Sailing Club for dinner. It was threatening rain so we stayed under cover, rather than brave sitting near the shore. It threw it down, the last death throws of the rainy season. Just before we are about to leave!

Today, we went to Mindil Beach. I'd got the dates wrong on a fair I thought was happening there. Oh well! We paddled around for a bit and then went to the Rapid Creek Sunday Market, had a wander, had a coffee, and then came back to pack and get ready to fly out. Sam and I had our last swim in the pool.

Sam also got to eat her Easter Bilby, that has been in the fridge for over a week. Please see pictures!
