Now I have them for you: postcard pictures as you might have seen on cards from the carribian. But this time it's real for me and every time I stood on a new beach there in the Cape Range Nationalpark (a few kilometers from Exmouth) or on Coral Bay (between Exmouth and Carnavon), I thought „I must be in paradise...“ It is just absolutely fantastic. For swimming such as for snorkeling or long walks along these unreal beaches. Unfortunately, it was extremly windy all the five days we stayed in the NP and in Coral Bay. Camping next to the beach is nice, but for me there is a point where I think I will get crazy with that wind. There's no place to hide from it. Wuhaaaaa!



Especially Turquoise Bay is a great spot for snorcheling – you can access the Ningaloo Reef directly from the beach – just step in and swim for 20 meters and it is there. Hundreds of fish, octopus, turtles etc. Pity I don't have an underwater camera. I might get one of those use-once-and-throw-away cameras before we go on down south to coral bay.



I have buried the idea to learn diving for the moment. Pity, but I cannot afford to do it at the moment. Maybe I should go for some fruitpicking when I arrive in Carnavon – they have many jobs at the moment it seems. Well, there's a lot to see just with snorchel and fins (german: Schwimmflossen) – so I'll have to do that. And snorcheling gear is definitely not as expensive as a diving course... ;-)
