Sydney day 6 - Jervis Bay adventure

It's a fresh new day at Jervis Bay.. quiet morning, sweet breeze, beautiful sky, and brightest moon I've ever longing to see.

Who would say no to this? view from Jervis Bay Caravan Park.. Subhanallah!,,.
The beauty of Jervis bay makes us decided to stay another night. Me and Syasya, we woke up as early as 530am just to 'lepak' by the river. She said she wanted to feed the duck. Me, to see sunrise of course!!  It was so beautiful and peaceful doing nothing and what u hear is just nature.  At that moment I wish that the time is frozen. But that's not possible.. so I really have to treasure every gift Allah is giving me.
 
At 9am we went to the office to confirm our night extension.  We need to also call up few cruise companies for our dolphin watch. In Jervis Bay there are only 2 companies operating such cruise - The Adventurer and The Dolphin Wild Cruise.  It is much cheaper to book thru the hotel compared thru online because they have this connection -- as usual.
 
For example, I saw an online price for a Family package (2A2C) was A$200. When the hotel called, The Adventurer quoted $155 for an open boat (no roof) while Wild Cruise was asking for only $100 for a roofed boat!!!.. that is a $100 saving which is RM322! Super..! So we immediately confirmed the booking and rush to the jetty.
 
The adventure started at 1030am and ended at 1pm. It was a 2.5 hours cruise with several stops to see dolphins, bays, beaches, cliffs etc.  Going on this trip had surely given a most valuable experience to us and the kids. We get to see dolphins so close, in their own playground without disturbing their home. The kids was so amazed every time the dolphins show off their skills (errr.. not just the kids.. ha ha). They came so close to the boat but we were not allowed to touch them. That's the maritime law. Nevertheless, everything was magnificent!
 
Ready for a cruise...
Hey there buddy!
 
After the cruise we had our first Fish and Chips in Jervis bay.. it was superbo!!! Fresh prawns, juicy calamari, good chips, sweet mackerel, snapper and hoki. I still remember the taste until now ♥♥♥
Will full stomach we head to St Georges Basin.. the biggest lake in J bay. Man... it was huge!! (...suppose to) have our small picnic by the lake as I've already prepared a full pot of rice and tuna, breads and everything). But everyone was still full, plus - the kids were really excited with the seagulls. So what happen next, my loaf became seagulls lunch.. oh dear! Kids really love feeding the birds..

After the basin, we went to Green Patch beach. We saw the beach during our dolphin cruise and the guide told us that this beach is recorded in Guiness having the highest silica content and it is pure white!!! Somehow the beach is part of a national park ans u need to pay A$11/2days to enter.
We arrived at the beach few minutes later and a wallaby 'welcomed' us. It just came out from a bush, searching for food. Then colorful birds came to our car. It was amazing. ..

From the parking space we need to walk a little bit further to the beach and came to our suprise,  when we walk on the sand there was this sound. Like a ...... I dont know how to describe. U have to go and hear yourself!  Ha ha...
 
We came back to our cabin at about 6pm. Kids went straight to the pool. Well for them it's a never ending fun. I was too tired but watching them sure has made my day.
 
See!! I told u these kids will not get tired when it comes to water and pools

That night I cooked a simple meal - rice, egg, and tuna with asparagus. Served with just hot milo. They ate like they haven't eaten for a week!!! yikess...
