Turquoise Bay.
Earlier in the year, before we left home, I remember wondering about real life and whether it would sneak it's way into our road trip. Whether it would be possible to live a dream life for six months without it becoming reality. Whether there would be moments on our holiday that would be icky and uncomfortable and boring.
Looking back now, I think the last week has been a bit of a thud down to earth.
Indi and I spent a week COVERED in sand fly bites and ended up in an antihistamine haze, we had to spend a few days in a town waiting to get our car serviced, we had to spend time in fluorescent shopping centres buying supplies and prezzies for an upcoming birthday, we spent hours on the phone dealing with issues from home and we realised that we are more than half way through our trip and are in fact heading home.
Real life stuff.
But then yesterday we woke up really early in Karratha and drove all day long until we reached Exmouth. We all had excited holiday butterflies in our tummies. We were heading back to the beach.
This morning we woke up and drove to one of the most magnificent beaches we have ever seen.
Turquoise Bay!!
Turquoise bay is part of Ningaloo reef and the only beach I have ever been to where you can swim right off the beach and onto the reef. It was so exciting to have the fishies swimming all around us.
It was mind blowing to snorkle out a bit further and watch the gorgeous reef fish swimming about in the coral and watch our excited kidlets as they learnt to use their snorkles and watched the under water world beneath them.
We are a tired bunch this evening but so happy to be back living our dream.
We are back!
Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend friends.
Happy travels. x
