Day 3 in Perth was particularly uneventful. The only event we had for the day was a trip to the Penguin Island to watch dolphins and penguins... there's sea lion watch too, but we did not opt for that package.
Breakfast... first time I had in Perth... was in McD... their breakfast set were slightly different from Malaysia's being that their sets mainly consists of pork bacon and the drink is cappuccino
Bacon burger! With avocado sauce too...
We reached the meeting point early in the morning... early being ~9am
And got on a boat that's surprisingly quite full despite it's Monday.
Then, for those who opted for the dolphin watch package, we were transfered to another boat...
This so-called swimming with the dolphins package does not guarantee a sighting of dolphins. We basically have to sail around and hope that we're lucky... that and plus the experience of the guides and the speaker that's immersed in water, letting out dolphin's sounds. So the pics caught were quite scarce... all pics of dolphins are caught by my friend.

After about 2 hours (I think) of chasing dolphins, we were finally let off the Penguin Island. This island is a protected reserve... the guide said something about level 7 or something to that effect. Even the toilet is the natural ones... no water flush...
The island is a nesting ground for pelicans... and the female ones were quite protective of their nests... we were continuousness harried by this particularly annoying bird.
And the island is filled with them!
Close-up of the bird... I'm not sure if this is how female pelicans look like... or it's another bird altogether...
This is a pelican, but it's nowhere on the island...
Picture if the egg the birds were protecting...
The scenery is okay i supposed, if you can ignore the shit that's everywhere...
Next, we went into a showroom to watch penguins... which is rather disappointing...

Penguin feeding...
In conclusion, I would not really recommend joining this adventure as the thrills are quite short and at a high price... to watch the penguins and dolphins, it was ~AUS$85... and it peaks more than AUS$100 if you want to watch the sea lion as well... at least for the sea lions, you watch it in the sea in a boat/ship that has a glass underbelly... the penguins watch was totally so "duh".
Anyhow, after this "adventure" we were back at home, do a little shopping to buy nougats and chocolates... and that is a must buy. However, I was in one shop that's selling 250g of nougats for AUS$27 while another shop that's selling 1kg nougat at the same price! Not sure if they accidentally put up the wrong price or what.
And oh, the supplements here are super cheap even after the currency conversion. So, if you have any vitamins, omega, calcium you want to buy, you can buy over here as well!
Well, that's all for a short uneventful third day in Perth.
