A short trip

Time to move on again, so in the morning we checked out of the hostel and got the car packed up yet again. We heard about a quad biking trip that's meant to be really good so we decided to try to do that before heading off. Unfortunately there was nothing available until the sunset cruise this evening and we wanted to be in Exmouth by then so no joy. Instead we went to the beach for a while and spent the morning swimming, chatting and reading. We snuck back into the hostel to cook lunch before starting the short trip to Exmouth. We've booked into the Potshot resort for the next 3 nights and we got there early in the afternoon. The room is pretty tiny but we've got our own fridge, TV and bathroom so I guess it's not too bad.

In the afternoon we checked out Exmouth and booked a dive trip to Lighthouse bay with Exmouth Dive. Exmouth used to be a military base and seems a lot different to the other towns we've been in in Western Australia. It's much more spread out so you definitely need a car to get around. There doesn't seem to be a nice beach in the town either. We picked up some food and then went to play mini-golf. And then it was time for yet another early night as we have to at the dive centre by 7.15 in the morning.
