Merry Xmas! Hohohoho Lets have a check if the tourist information center in the city will be open. Well... no. We pass by a supermarket and got some bred and pies with a filling (pudding and jam) and some TimTam chocolates (Australia's favorite chocolate biscuit).

We drive to Torndirrup National Park. Here you have the Gap and the Natural Bridge. Beautiful how nature has shaped this and imagine that it has been proven that this part was ever attached to Antarctic. If you take a walk to the right you get to the blowholes. Air is blown in a hole because the see slams the air out of it with a wave. Don not think to have a look, because your hat and sunglasses will be blown from you head. Very funny. Aks Eric how it works. hihihihi

The whale station was closed and everything else to so we drive back to the hotel and go for a walk on the beach. For the time of the year it was not very warm (22ËšC). At 20.00 we had our Xmas diner. And yes the Aussies celebrate Xmas with a lunch and not like us with a diner. The food was much better than in the Legends bar. Pumkin soup, Salmon, American steak, mango pudding, cappuccino and tea. We specially dressed for the occasion, but I think it was a bit to cold. And my eyes were still swollen from the major sunburn I suffered since Perth. How hard is it to celebrate a holiday?! Pffff
