this is my favorite penguin. it was the best :)
well after the unexpected rainstorm ended it was a pretty normal week. but the weekend brought some great adventure. saturday we went sea kayaking. it was intense. we got picked up at 8 by the company and they took us for a nice drive to where we were going. we got there unloaded all pumped for our day. leah, my kayaking partner, and i were ready for this great adventure. we got on the water and oo boy was it an adventure. we were so lucky that it was a windy and cloudy day...NOT. we started out good but as we were getting further from where we started and not really any closer to where we were going, we started to worry. the waves were getting bigger, well okay i shouldn't exxagerate that much, the white caps were starting to pick up. it was getting scarier. we finally made it to the first of three islands, but of course we weren't allowed to get out of the boats, that wasn't till the third island. LAME.
after that nice little break it was time to go again. we just kayaked by the second one and had to go between these two big rock land forms to the third one. those waves were no joke between those two rocks. we actually had to get roped to the instructors boat to get guided and pulled in, it was hard and scary!! i did not like it haha but we finally arrived at penguin island and we were successful. it was beautiful there, although all the penguins were in the water fishing it was still pretty cool. we got to see a habitat of them and we got to see them eat so it was fun!
we are our lunch and we were ready to head back, it was cold and starting to rain. i wont go into detail but we made our way back, it was difficult, but lets just say leah and i ended up half way down the beach to where we started and had to pull the kayake to where we were suppose to meet. no big deal. we made it back safely.
moving on.....
the week that followed was good. sunday and monday were days full of writing a paper and trying to get through the first couple days of the week because today, wednesday, was our fremantle prison tour!! i just got back and man it was scary. i dont think im much of a scary place, haunted place type person. i did not like it. i was scared the whole time and i just dont think im cut out for things like that. whatever. i got through it and it was fine.
the only thing good about today is that i am officially and finally on spring break, or as they call it 'essay preparation week'. wooohooo im looking forward to that. tomorrow thursday we are going to see alice in wonderland finally! im excited for that. and friday is a national holiday, good friday. who knew? but we are looking forward to our easter weekend and the week ahead.
saturday hopefully we make it to king's park, a huge place in Perth that is beautiful and amazing! i am excited. and sunday for easter we are having a huge lunch dinner thing we around 32 people! some families are here and a lecturer is coming and some of our house mum's friends! we are looknig forward to it. then off on our down south road trip, where SO MUCH ADVENTURE AWAITS US!!!
so you are all probaly thinking 'my life is rough' haha well i am very lucky to be here, but as it approaches the easter holiday i miss home more and more and its hitting me that it will be my first holiday away from home. but if it all goes well, i am sure it will be a good way to spend my first holiday away from home. but till we speak again...i miss you all lots! talk to you soon!
