We left Norseman after a bit of time driving around and running some errands. I met an English guy who ran the local roadhouse (truck stop) who asked me if he were 45 years younger would I take him traveling with me. He was cute and full of information for us. We also did some work on the car and spent some time at the visitor’s center where we collected our certificates that they give you if you make it across the Nullarbor. Pretty funny. Really funny actually. I love being a tourist.
From Norseman we decided to stay at a place called Lucky Bay, which is just east of Esperance. We are so close to Perth and it doesn’t even seem like we left that long ago!
Lucky Bay ended up being the most amazing place so far. Really. The sand was as white as snow and the water as clear as glass. Even the deep parts of the bay were so blue you could nearly see to the bottom. We also went to Thistle Bay, which was just next to it, and it was so pristine I felt like I was imaging it. Really, you couldn’t even imagine it. You know when you see pictures of places and you just know the photographer is a fan of Photoshop…well, yeah, I still got better pictures. (If only I could put them up here!!!!!!!) We set up camp and went for a walk along the long beach. The wind was starting to pick up, so we didn’t get to swim, but we played around for a bit. It was so freaking nice. I can’t even explain. I hope we make it back on the way back east.
