For our last full day in Corlette, we decided to go snorkelling. But first, we had to watch the replay of the Tour de France, with a great finish on the runway of Peyragudes airport (16% climb, 1m up every 6m).

Because of the strong currents where we wanting to dive, we had to wait for high tide, mid-afternoon. In the meantime, we went for a walk at Soldiers Point, a town 10min from Corlette. We saw pelicans there, found a pier where we could take “instagram” pictures, and ate pizza at the marina’s takeaway.

We were on time for the high tide at Fly Point, in Nelson Bay. The water was cold, 16 deg, but ok with wetsuits. However… visibility was an issue. The water was muddy because of the bad weather the last few days. We still saw nice fishes in the shallow waters. But we didn’t hang around for too long, and quickly started thinking that we had deserved a warm shower.

We went home, got that warm shower we deserved. The kids spent the evening playing with costumes. We played baby-foot, bananagrams. Mike was here for dinner, and we said goodbye to him. We’re going to Sydney tomorrow, the last part of our trip… and we’ll be saying goodbye to Corlette.
