Octopussy

On Thursday we drive all the way to exmouth, one of the mayor stops on the way to Darwin. Exmouth itself is nothing special, but the magnificent Ningaloo reef makes you love the region. Anja en Victor felt like leaving the city the day itself and wanted to go Karijini, but I really wanted to see all the spectacular underwaterlife. After some thinking I decided to leave my tribe and join the French/Italian guys we met 2 days earlier. It was a hard decision, but this journey is for me about to live my own live and do what I really want. The day was almost over without doing anything, we drove to a “secret spot” to camp for free and felt asleep in the company of some jumping spiders.

The next day we got up, looking for a camping spot in the National Park and on the road we spotted a giant green snake with a black head on the road!! I went behind her with Eduardo for a picture, but the deadly snake suddenly moved her head to us and we run very hard resulting in a less though pic then I hoped.

We went fishing with Jacob and Julia, some friends from Germany. I tried to throw my line but after 10min I got stuck. Eduardo kept my line from the beach and I went in the water to get my hook back. I followed the line and at the end I suddenly felt a kiss on my fingers. We took some snorkeling gear and following the line again which brought us to a hole in the ground where an octopus had swallowed my hook and was hidden in her cave. What a pussy! I tried to pull her out but my line snapped. My first catch ever was an octopus! But I will never get to eat her..

After one hour the tide was coming up and suddenly Jacob catched two big fish and Julia got the third. Guess what we had as dinner. .
