What an amazing day!
We left at around 9ish after swimming lengths of the pool - it was tough! Too much for Roxy as she wasn't well for the rest of the day.
The road to Angel's Billabong / Borken Beach was shocking. Our driver Comong was great though. Very funny and loved taking photos of us.
Angel's Billabong was crazy - it looked so dangerous, and the swell was big. Some tourists (carrying beer bottles!) almost got swept in! Crazy people. We walked around to the other side, and we saw the most amazing sight - Manta Rays just off the coast! It was phenomenal! Paish and Daddy carries on to the peninsula while Roxy rested with Mummy. We did our usual levitation and backsaults, very funny and Comong loved it!
Drove straight to he top of Dinasaur Ridge, no lunch. Roxy and Mummy decided not to go - smart move. It was mega crowded and congested on the way down. It took around 50 minutes to get down a knife edged vertical ridge (Paish goes rage over iPhone!), then we relaxed. Massive waves on the beach, and very scary. We decided to head out, and we chose our moment, only for Daddy to go out on my own as Paish was too scared! What the! Daddy had to swim fast to get beyond the break, and had no idea how to get back in as the waves were so big! He picked his moment, and managed to body surf back in - phew!
We were out for a few minutes, then suddenly a frantic woman was yelling at Daddy. Daddy wondered whether it was him she was shouting at, but said "Yes, you you you, my father is in trouble in the water!". Daddy dived straight in and found him with Darcy, an Australian paramedic. He was being held up by someone, and Daddy grabbed his hand and guided him to shore. As we touched sand, Daddy looked behind at him and saw an enormous wave only a second away. Daddy said to him "You're going to have to go under!". he was out of it and had no ideas. The force of the wave made Daddy let go of him, he just couldn't hold on. He went with the wave, and then went to find the man again. Another wave hit them, but this time Daddy brought him to shore and he was safe - crazy times! The family was from Brazil, and they were very thankful. Stayed and chatted to Darcy - "There can't be a nicer place to rescue someone!", then enjoyed the beach, then back up in 30 minutes - no crowds. Good fun, and adventurous times!
Early dinner, relaxed. What a day!
