Rhod and Anna's World Adventure

Despite how it sounds when you say it, there is no 'F' in Dolphin. That ends the English lesson.

We are in Australia. To be precise we are in the southwest corner of Western Australia and the good news for us is that for the last 3 days the sun has been shining brightly. Is it still cold in the UK???

We arrived bright and early in to Perth and picked up our luxury hire car. It's a Nissan Pulsar ST and it is a special looking jalopy in metallic..beige. But it goes well, fits the bags, has aircon and that's pretty much all we needed. So we set off from Perth. Desperate to escape bustling cities after 5 weeks, we headed for the beach and a town with a population of 70,000 people; Bunbury.

We arrived and our first thought was Wow! It's pretty quiet here. Doesn't seem like there's much to do. Maybe the grass isn't always greener....

Luckily the grass is greener. You just need to lie back and relax on it to find out. So what have we been doing for 3 days in the sunshine? The answer is not a lot! It's fantastic.

Bunbury is famous for its dolphins so when in Bunbury one must do as the Bunbarians do...go seek out some dolphins. Having been advised to get down to the beach at 8am for the best chance of seeing them, we arrived (late) cossies on and ready to wade in with the dolphins in the 'interaction zone'. 4 hours later, we are still waiting, convinced that the slightest movement in the water is a school of dolphins ready to 'interact' with some english people. How could they resist? Easily, it seems.

So far this holiday, we've learnt that there's no 'F' in 'sumo wrestlers', there's no 'F' in 'pandas', there's no 'F' in 'Hong Kong views' and there's no 'F' in 'Dolphins'! This is becoming something of a theme of our holiday. There may well be no 'F' in 'Whales' either!
