We've been everywhere man - Shark Bay, Champagne Beach, Hog harbour, Port Olry, Turtle Island, Blue holes and Oyster Island.
We were kindly guided into Shark Bay by Peter of Lataro Island, which he is currently converting to an exclusive resort, but unfortunately we didn't have time to get ashore there and heck it out. The first aircraft was due to land on the new airstrip this week!
Shark Bay also introduced us to Chief William, and a few of his family, lovely people, so kind and generous. We traded a few gifts for fresh produce, just so frustrated - and the paw paw is the best ever. Dived the reef, snorkelled the reef - brilliant.
Champagne beach is very pretty with its white soft sand, but a little commercialised, so we only stayed one night and moved on to Port Olry (recommended by Peter - thanks).
Port Olry is simply Heaven. Dived, snorkelled, ate Lobster, Coconut crab, rubber fish and soggy chicken! Sundowners were fabulous. Boys sailed around in wheelbarrow tubs. Fishermen showed their catch - some of which I would have put in the aquarium rather than eat.
Alfie ended in the dog-house for deleting Bob's photos of sharks, even though they were only small!
Dived Turtle Island reef - awesome, just awesome. Went up to the Ri-ri blue hole, and the local owner and children showed us how to swing in and have a bath in the beautiful blue fresh water. Brilliant. We are enjoying the cocktails and culinary delights of Oyster Island resorts 5 star chef tonight, all rather nice.
Tomorrow we will visit Philips village, after he came and invited us in his dug-out canoe, so if you don't here from us again we have decided to stay and settle in to the "village life".
