Day 106 - Coral Bay

Run again this morning - bit lighter feeling than yesterday, but a little stiff. Came back trying to choose between tours - all day manta ray (and more) for $160, or snorkelling for $50. No scuba in Exmouth, so budget could cover $160, but there was a big crowd doing it, and it would take all day, with no chance for rest, so ended up going snorkelling. Got prescription snorkel too! Boarded the [glass-bottomed] boat right on the beach, and already there were quite a few fish underneath us - big snappers, little zebras. The glass was really clear, and magnified the view. The coral starts really close to the short - big cabbage coral, in beautiful rose-like swirls. Snorkelling was a pleasure, spotted a dark ray, and later a larger ray through the glass.
