We took off for Port Stevens which is about 2 and a half hours north of Sydney. We drank on the bus again but once we got there we were all pretty dead and ready for bed. Saturday Morning we got up early and went to the Shark and Ray Centre where we actually got in the water and pet and fed sharks and sting rays. Scccaarryyy! After that we headed to somewhere in the middle of no where in the desert where we were surrounded by sand dunes. We took a four wheeler to the sand dunes where we were going to go dune boarding. Apparently the other week people got hurt by standing up and going down the dunes so they only wanted us to sit on the boards, which is fine because I wouldn't have been able to stand up without breaking my neck anyways. So pretty much we just sledded down sand .. we only went down twice because the hill was so big that it was extremely hard to walk back up. After dune boarding we headed back to Port Steven to go whale and dolphin watching. When we got into the boat my roommate and I went to the bar to order a drink, but the bartender told us he was told not to sell drinks because it was going to be extremely choppy out there and drinking wouldn't help. Thank God he didn't sell us any or I would have joined the other 10000000 people that were puking. Not kidding there were people EVERYWHERE puking over the edge and carrying around barf bags. I have never seen so many people throwing up at one time in my entire life. Wow. Anyways, we ended up seeing quite a few dolphins and we saw a few whales but they were harder to spot. The water though was SOOOOO blue! After whale watching went and got a tour of Murrays Brewery and then we had dinner there. After that we went out to the one and only bar in the whole town, and i'm pretty sure that was the most action that bar had ever seen since its been there. There were about 30 of us who walked in and everyone kind of just stared at us. But they had a live band with an older lady and older man and they placed 80's music pretty much the entire time.. it was actually a blast.
The next day (Sunday) we headed to Hunter Valley where we ate lunch and then did wine tasting all day. We went to three different vineyards, and the last one we did liquor tasting. Our last one was a hot chili pepper shot, and they made everyone do it. It BURNED my mouth for like 10 minutes straight!
All together it was a very successful and fun weekend! Unfortunately that was our second to last weekend here and now we only have one more week together! :(
