We're still in Albany. Albany and the surrounds remind me very much of Cornwall - rugged coastlines, sheer cliffs, and charming and kind people. In the town centre itself there is a myriad of small cafes and coffee shops, one of which we stopped at today and had some of the best Bruscetta I've ever tasted. Marvellous! We went out whale watching (again) yesterday and today. Today because we didn't see any yesterday and they offered us a free trip out! Today we saw a pod of 3 humpbacks doing their thing, and although this is the 3rd time we have seen whales I still marvel and their gracefullness in the water despite weighing upwards of 50 tonnes and being over 15 metres long.

Tomorrow we're leaving Albany and heading back up in the general direction of Perth. there are some lakes on the way to Wave Rock where we will spend most of Friday. We should be able to make it up to The Pinnacles although we'll be driving that last stretch at about 40km/h!
