Emmanuelle's birthday needs to be celebrated, and as my lovely wife deserved a fantastic weekend I started planning many weeks ago. We try to keep a list of things to do here in oz before our visa run out. One of those things was Fraser Island. The award winning kingfisher bay resort to be exact.
We can't get enough of the whales and as they are leaving us for Antartica we decide to go once more. We are treated to the special! Mum allows young bub to breach again and again, and the splash of the whale makes to the boat. Whhooossshhh.
We have been taught by another ship that if you wave at a whale sometimes they wave back. Emmanuelle waves like if her life depended on it. Other guests look at her as if she's lost it until all of the sudden both the baby whale and mum wave back at us. Some people come and ask us if it really works, but when the whales wave back the 4th time everyone is convinced.
(this really works, you won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes). The crowd quickly realises what had happened and feverishly start waving like Emmanuelle. Not sure who's entertaining who at this stage.
As a dinner I invited Emma to a Bush Tucker meal. Kangaroo (delicious), Emu (not so good), Crocodile (delicious). We ate many berries. The thing with Australian fruit is that the ground is very poor, so the fruit doesn’t grow large or plenty full. But what it lacks in quantity it makes up in flavour. Very rich menthol, anis, citrus and pepper flavours. Some of them downright spicy.
