Ditchwater Day gets better......

We are still in Dull as Ditchwater Bremer Bay, it's still over cast and we have no idea what to do to occupy our time, except go to the ATM and withdraw the maximum A$200 and see if there is any way we can spend some of it, whilst there we could see if they have any bread less than a week old.  Good news and Bad news, we get there and they have fresh granary bread but the ATM is kaput......... We break into our last hundred and then go for coffee in the other campsite.....
Not only do we get the coffee we also get an hours entertainment as every time the lady comes out we joke with her about Bremer Bay, she cracks up with one of those infectious laughs, we laugh at her which causes her to laugh more......  A University professor on holiday on his own then joins us and it's almost party time, except it's 11am and we are on a Caffeine high only.
Now you may think at times whilst reading these posts that he, being me, has made things up or possibly embellished something, yes that may have happened slightly but nothing other than facts have been reported on these pages, my proof reader ensures that...... So what I am about to write is the truth, it actually happened and it was said.  Whilst partying as previously mentioned, we were told about an Abalone Farm just up the road, we had previously seen a TV programme about said farm, it's the only one, and how top secret their methods were as the Chinese and Asians pay through the roof for fresh Abalone and this company were making a very healthy profit.  So we are later in the visitors centre asking about The Weedy and Leaf Sea Dragons, more about them later, when I also ask about the Abalone farm.  The lady who was helping me was very charming and polite, she had even heard about us having to stay here for five days due to the Whale trip......... So she tells me, "You cannot visit or go around the farm but why don't you go and look at the buildings they are very impressive".  With that I return to the van and we suddenly see a Red Capped Parrot sitting on the electricity cables above us, someone has been looking for one of these for three days and there he is about to deposit yesterday's dinner on us...... 

We drive past the town Cemetery making our way to the 'Impressive' Abalone Farm, we turn a corner and there they are before our very eyes, the farm with the top secret method of providing fresh uniform Abalone, in what can only be described as Nissan Huts........ I am in fits, tears are in my eyes, I nearly go off the road, all I can think of is that sweet lady has had me well and truly over or she has lived here too long..........
We settle down and decide that one of us will go snorkelling looking for the Sea Dragons whilst the other will Crochet.  The Sea was not at its calmest but the draw of possibly seeing the Sea Dragons enticed one of us in, I could not concentrate and dropped ten stitches worrying about her out there in a 3ft swell.......... No sea dragons seen, it was too rough but a 4ft Stingray came along and swam underneath us, I did give his tail a bit of a wide berth, didn't want another Steve going down to one of them........
Came back on a bit of a high so took my chef out to dinner to the Bremer Bay Resort, which with one night left here and that has to be almost a non drinking night, I find they sell 'Guinness', tomorrow's going to be a long day........
