The fourth and last day it was yet again the two of us and the guide from the first day. Another pair was to have
joined us, but she had been ill during the night, so they went to the hospital instead for a checkup.
By the way, it is time to introduce our guide. His name is David Bomba, and he also the owner of his own small tour
company 'OutOfSight' - see www.outofsighttours.com. If you ever come to the Albany area and need a tour guide, look him
up. He also does trekking tours if you are that way inclined. We were very satisfied.
That day's tour was two national parks, this time inland. The first was dry, but still with a lot of green. We drove
a 42 km stretch of dirt track, didn't see another person or car. The second was a big forrest, with the main attraction
being a tree growing though a big rock. The nature was as usual fantastic. We ended the tour at another winery and
bought a bottle of very nice riesling, which we shared with our meal (chicken burger in the hotel room).

Up early to get to the airport. Too early as we were there at 6.40 and they did not open till 07.00. We hadn't had
any breakfast yet, and the cafeteria was closed, but the did serve a decent breakfast on the plane. We had 2.5 hour
stopover in Perth, but even so managed to be called when the plane was ready. They did not show 'go to gate' on the
board, so Willy thought that there were plenty of time. But we made it.
The hotel resort in Exmouth is something. And the room is just great, the bathtub is also a spa. The downside is that
it is located somewhat outside of town and there is nothing around here. And then again, we took a taxi into town later
that day, and there wasn't anything there either. Just a small center with two supermarkets. There was a shop which
sold booze and those sodas with vodka, rum etc, but no beers. For that Willy had to walk a mile, or at least what felt
like a mile in the heat. It is very hot here. On our taxi ride back to the hotel we saw emus walking in the street, as
if they owned it. This was the the first time we saw this bird outside a zoo.
We had a really nice dinner in the hotel's restaurant.

Relax, read a bit, quilt a bit, basically just feet up. Everything was closed and no tours were running.

Same as yesterday.

Willy went diving. He had two very nice dives, with lots of fish, plus a seasnake and a small shark. The visibility
was a bit diminished because a cyclone had just passed by a bit north of here, but the water was quite shallow, just
down to 14 meters, so plenty of light.

Nothing lined up for today, just get our flight to Perth confirmed, and get the blog updated. And a bit of feet up.
