The Adventures of Bob

Me in a nut shell



Hello all, been a couple days since the last update but still lots going on.

following my drinking adventures in Byron bay, i went on a snorkel out near this island which we use as a base and work around, it also cuts down the waves and blocks a bit of the current out there, well it was absolutely spectacular, not many corals down there to be honest but just hopping with creatures. The island is in the center of the above picture



I managed to swim with about2 or 3 sea turtles which really didnt mind you being around them it was pretty cool, they were just swimmin around and having a good feed on the jellyfish out there which was super cool. Next i ran into a few sharks, just little bottom feeder guys, not really sure what they are called but yeah sharks so that was cool, next ran into an octopus who was just settling into a rock out there, pretty big one too. Then saw about 4

king or jack fish i thought they were tuna as they had a rather sleak body but i was informed later that they weren't. There was also lots of jellyfish around that i had to swim through which was a little concerning, but they didnt say anything about them on the boat so i didnt worry to much i also had a stinger suit on so didnt feel a thing, more worried about my hands and forehead but it was all good.

Lots of other cool fish down there, blue tangs, puffers, maybe black tangs, groupers, morish idols, so overall a great game out there would definately do it again, though maybe a dive as you can see alot more, aparently they saw a monster of a shark a little further out but i wasnt aloud to venture like they could due to currents and waves.

The following day i began my trek up to brisbane or brisvegas as everyone calls it and we did a little zorbing on our way, zorbing for those who dont know is where you crawl into this big ball that has in inner membrane with a little water and then go rolling down a hill in it. I had to get in with 2 other dudes and well we laughed endlessly to the bottom, you really cant see much and its just a mess of bodies on the inside of the damn thing but good fun and best of all it was free. the hill was a little small for my liking, but was good stuff. At the end you pop out of the whole and it litterally looks like childbirth as you pop out and there is water all over the place etc. ok ive never seen child birth first hand but its what i somewhat imagine it would be like.

sorry bout that one folks forgot to rotate soooo turn your heads top to the right and youlll get the gist of it


That evening i went out drinking with an english bloke who was leaving today for singapore and we got absolutely drunk really not to sure why it started off pretty tame and halfway through he reallized his calendar on his phone was the wrong month and was worried about what the date was and if he had missed his flight and then realized he hadnt confirmed his flight so he was a little worried and when he called the agency at like midnight they knew he was drunk and they had a good chat and apparently confirming flights is generally just to keep mothers happy.

thats me on my way out


And with all luck im shortly gonna call up Andrew Kilmer and spend a few days with him before he heads back to ole Canada which should be a few days of pure magic





Well i think thats all for now, bye for now and

Stay precious

Bob

  • G'day Robert

    We're having great fun keeping up with the adventures of Bob. Glad to hear you liked zorbing - seems to be a hit in Rotorua NZ so I think your parents should have a go at it next Nov.
    Love the photos - some are quite titilating.
    Have a great Christmas under the Aussie sun!
