Wineglass Bay

Another beautiful day here. I went on a boat cruise around to Wineglass Bay. The sea was quite flat and the sailing smooth apart from about 1/2 hour on the way back.
I met another female solo traveller, poor woman sprained her ankle on her first day. She was happy to have someone to chat to and compare notes with, as was I.

There was a lot to see on the way there. Numerous beaches and rock formations. We were lucky enough to see seals on rocks and had one frolic in front of the boat while we were stationary watching for whales. We saw glimpses of whales and dolphins. We also saw various birds including a white bellied sea eagle, an albatross, black faced cormorants and mutton birds.
We only spent a short time at Wineglass Bay as the skipper wanted to get to calmer waters before we had lunch.
Lunch was lovely. We stopped at Passage beach and had chairs brought out to the back deck and sat in the sun. My new friend doesn’t eat seafood so I swapped my ham and pastrami for salmon and smoked salmon. I got the better deal.

After the cruise ended I came back to my accommodation to read some more of my book before going to explore Honeymoon Bay. Of all the bays around here it is probably the least pretty bay. It was secluded and would be a nice place to swim though.Leggi altro
