We were all up early this morning to grab some breakfast and then get down to the beach to see the dolphins. The crowd of people all had to wait up and off the beach so the dolphins would come in. Around 7:45am the first 5 dolphins appeared in the shallow water of the beach. After letting the dolphins adjust we were all allowed to make our way down to the beach and we had to form a single line on the shore. The dolphins would swim in quite close and you could see them stick one of their eyes up out of the water so they could check us all out. A lady from the resort gave us a talk about the dolphins and how they track them and why they only feed them a ... read more

I hopped on my tour van and we picked the rest of the group up. There are 10 of us in total, so a small group. Everyone is pretty cool. I started off calling everyone by their country instead of their name because I couldn't remember their name and then everyone started doing it haha. So I was obviously Canada, there was Team england, Team germany, Frenchie, Team Taiwan and Japan. We headed north of Perth and our first stop was the Pinnacles. These are rock formations formed thousands of years ago and are all over the dessert near the ocean. To me, they are very phallic looking. We walked around a small area of the pinnacles taking pictures and our tour guide, Ryan told us all about how they were formed. It really is a ... read more

Sarah and the girls dropped me off in Kalgoorlie for the train to Southern Cross. Weird feeling heading back to Southern Cross after so long. 7 months to be exact. I arrived in SX at about 9:20am and Paddy was there waiting for me. The main reason I'm coming back to SX is because it's his 30th birthday today. The timing of going to Kambalda and all worked out so I'm able to celebrate with him. He drove me over to Kylie's where I'm going to stay. So good to see her and her little boy Jayden. Got Kylie slowly out of bed and they all got dressed and we headed over to The Club (the other pub in town) which is getting renovated. So, we had to head over to The Palace for lunch. The ... read more

I spent yesterday shopping a bit and then packing up...again. You would think I'd be a pro at packing by this point but it's always still a struggle to make sure everything fits. But I did it. I booked myself on the train out to Kalgoorlie for the next morning so it was into bed early for me. I hopped on the train at 7am the next day. It was an uneventful train ride until about an hour away from Kalgoorlie when our train stopped and announcements were made that a train ahead of us on the tracks was having engine problems and that we couldn't go anywhere until that train was fixed. We ended up waiting for almost an hour. Luckily I had reception on my phone so I managed to get a hold of ... read more

We headed over to the spa at 10 am for our appointments. We all decided on the same treatments so we started off getting a one hour head massage. It sounds so much better then it was. Parts of it were really nice but other parts really hurt. And they use an oil to massage with so your hair becomes super greasy! Next up we had a half hour manicure. I picked out a pretty pale blue colour for my nails. Then we finished up with a one hour pedicure. It was very nice and relaxing. I picked out a really pretty bright bluey green colour my toe nails and then my lady painted on a white frangipani flower onto my big toe nails with a toothpick. So talented! We decided to head to a thai ... read more
