Sam, Loy and I went to Penguin Island today. We wanted to walk over but the tide was too high and the wind was making the current go all crazy so we opted for the safer ferry ride. The weather wasn't so good today and it reminded me of when i was in Rottnest Island, all rain and wind. But luckily for us, the clouds cleared a little and it became a lot less cold.
We went for the penguin feeding and then decided to follow the tracks, walking to the beach, shores and round to the front again (the island wasn't very big). The gulls were a horror. They had their nests around the pathtrails and so everytime someone walked round that area, they would get all agigtated and would start to hover on top of some poor soul, screaming their lungs out. While I was worried that one might peck my eyes out (a la Passion of Christ), Loy was more worried about them shitting on him. Sam was the cool one outta all of us. It was a funny sight to see us three being attacked by seagulls though. But we were seriously outnumbered. Argh ...
Anyway ... besides being cold and ambushed, i enjoyed myself ...
Penguin Island is a nice place and the penguins are simply adorable. **waddlewaddle**
Actually we wanted to walk over but the tide was too high adn the current was too strong, so we took the ferry over
at the jetty
moving along
And we finally got to Penguin Island
We got to the enclosure and saw the many penguins squirming around. I think they are simply adorable. How cute ...
We then started walking around the island and checking out the trails and the beach. Here, we start with the Pelicans
And gulls fighting
they are really fierce because their nests are around the place ... here you can see the baby gulls
me hiding in a cove
the cave and check out the rocks
the sand thingies ... i wonder what they're called
you can see the gulls hovering above us
Sam
The cave again
more gulls
the gatekeeper
See the gulls hovering above ... they are really really scary
See how clear the water is
Just a nice shell i found ... its very unique
Leaving Penguin Island
