Today we woke up and were a bit late for the early morning dolphin feeding, so we caught the second one a bit later. We sat on the wharf and there were a couple of lively dolphins just off the end, so we got a good view of the action and got some really good pictures.
The reason for waking up late, which I nearly forgot to tell you, was because we had ANOTHER MOUSE!!!!!!!! I woke up to our pots and pans banging. I freaked out and laid there for a few minutes before I heard some mouse noises, screamed, woke Matt up and made him listen. It wasn’t 30 seconds later and we heard something run across the bed. Luckily it was dark or I might have jumped out the window. I made Matt get up and set the traps. About 5 minutes later we heard a snap and the thing was caught by the neck. I hate having them around, but I always feel guilty when I see them in the trap. Good thing this one went quickly and didn’t scream like the last one. MEE, MEE, MEE, MEE!!!! Hey, does anyone know if mice can tell that there has been another mouse in the same place before? It seems strange that we have had two and there are caravans everywhere around us all the time! We make a point not to leave any food out, so it can’t be that…
After that we went for a run. Matt has to do this beep test to train for the fire brigade, so I tried to do it with him…unsuccessfully. It’s a test that beeps at different intervals and you have to keep up with it in between this 20-meter span. It’s hard to explain and even harder to do. Then we played tennis and did some serious stretching before lounging on the beach for an hour or so.
At about 6, we went on a sunset cruise on the same boat we went on yesterday. It was free with the purchase of yesterday’s cruise. It was quite pleasant really, and we saw some more wildlife.
When we got back, we had an hour to have dinner before we had to meet up to do an astronomy tour. The main skipper of the boat we went on has been sailing for nearly 40 years and is a self-taught cosmologist. It’s pretty cool to learn about the stars and the universe from someone who only knows it because of the need for direction on the high seas. It beats someone learning it in school, I’d say. He was full of information, but made it understandable for all of us. We were provided with binoculars and could see all the craters on the moon and all of Jupiter’s moons. It was a pretty nerdy night, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
That finished at about ten and now we’re going to bed!!!! It’s way past my bedtime!
