Morten Island

It is the wee hours here down under, but it the only time we are able to update bc house has gone over our Internet usage..again. Oh well as is life

Anyways we just got back from camping from Morten Island and omg it was amazing. We went with two of our friends Lacey and Victoria and although it was a small group we had so much fun! The ferry you take just drops you off and you see these huge sand dunes! It was like Gilligan's island, but we had no skipper!

The first day we got there we set up our tent. Our tent was a little on the "special" side which bothered Cristalle a tad, but Maria was like uh whatever. We then went exploring the island. Rumor had it that the island had sharks in the water, but locals told us it on the other side...ummm yea. We did see some fishes and a manta ray which was cool. That night we hung out in the tents and started a fire. We cooked Beans! Go Us(espically Cristalle)

The next day we went sand tobogganing. We had to climb up this huge hill which was a work out in it self. You then go head first down these mountains at 65 kph(im not sure what that is in miles, but it is hella fast!) It was so much fun even when we got sand in our face and eyes. We were covered in sand for the rest of the weekend. We even went two at a time...goodtimes! We will have pictures of that in upcoming weeks. We couldnt bring our camera bc we didnt want it damage. However Vics did get the longest disatance! Woot!

That night we went to the dolphin feeding. There wer elike 8 dolphins and they kept getting tons and tons of fish,which is only 10 percent of their diet.It was cool to watch, espically the little kids feeding the dolphins, so cute. The dolphins even did some killa moves.(see video)

The next day we went on a banana boat which is basically a long raft. It was alot of fun,but we wanted the guy to faster, but sadly he didnt :( He probally didnt think us Americans could handle it...psh whateve.

We then went snokling(Maria didnt get sea sick, but it was a big boat) around the wrecks near the island. That was alot of fun bc we got to feed the fish and they jumped up at you. The coral was beautiful and the water was so blue! It was beautiful.

The next day it rained(can we go anywhere when it doesnt rain?) But it was ok bc we were leaving anyways with sand, smelly and covered in bug bites! The Mozzies lived us! We soon got back to Brisbane and decided to see Spiderman 3...disappointment just fyi!

Anyways we are having a good time and awaiting the arrival of Maria's Mom and Aunt Olga...EXCITING!!! Well that is all we love and miss you and we will see you soon!
