20...Birthdayparty in the NP

Our group went to the Cape Range NP for Bushcamping, snorkeling and a bit of walking.
We did the Yardie Creek Trail where I saw my first, still alive, snake. Unfortunately only 50 cm long, but it was a snake.
After the walk we were ready to jump into the water for snorkeling and cooling-down at Oyster Stack. It wasn't a real cooling down (the ocean had a temperature like a pool for children...) but we could do snorkeling.

Malin had a birthday on Wednesday. So, we sung Birthdaysongs for her, weared Partyheads and Masks, tied Airballons at our cars and went to Turquoise Bay for snorkeling.
Both snorkeling spots were amazing. I saw turtles, octupus, fishes, Black tip reef sharks (of course) yadda-yadda-yadda.
In the evening we went back to Exmouth (still wearing the Birthday Equipment), bought Champagne and drank it in the park. Predictably we ended in a pub.

Actually, Kristin (our new lift, we met her in Exmouth) wanted to go with us to Broome. I just wanted to pick her up from the Campingground in Exmouth, but the receptionist told me she left the Campingground two days ago (when we were in the NP) and her mobile is still switch off... So, we only go with Tim as our lift. We met him and his friend Emma (both Irish) at the Campingground and they were with us in the Cape Range NP and looked for a lift to Broome.

We are now leaving Exmouth and heading to Karijinni NP.

The Ningallo Reef was absolute breathtaking and awesome. I saw the Seaworld which I've never seen before. It is in any case one of my Top 5 spots in Australia.
