"Come Here. Pretty Please.
Can you tell me where I am?
You... Won't you say something?
I need to get my bearings.

I'm Haunted..."

I was blowing red dust from my nose for days.

Red, Red, Go Away
After that we headed up to Exmouth. Tony was quite excited about visiting the town because it is the same name of his hometown in England. Exmouth is a great place. The town is not much to speak of, but the beaches near there were near perfect.

We headed to Turquoise Bay for the day. Man that was heaven. They don't call it Turquoise for nothing. Beautiful clear water and great snorkeling. It is part of the Ningaloo Reef, which although smaller than the Great Barrier Reef, I think is much better. There are less people, the water ...
