The third day started in Monkey Mia, famous home of friendly dolphins. I don't know who figured it out, but the dolphins of this area love people. There are three feedings every morning (these feedings post-dated the discovery of their love for people). It was fascinating to finally see my first dolphin. I wasn't able to touch them though.After the feeding, I played a game of one-armed, left-handed, low-mobility beach volleyball. Serving proved to be my forte. The rest of the morning was dedicated to hangout out at the beach. We had lunch at a hut and all was well until we learned that it wasn't just the Monkey Mia dolphins that weren't afraid of people. An emu attacked us, ruined our lunch and stole my sandwich. Jerk.
We drove the rest of the day before stopping for a night in Coral Bay. They served us the famous Aussie hamburger. A beef patty, fried onions, cheese, bacon, lettuce, beet root, tomato, and most importantly, an over-easy fried egg. They don't even fit in a person's mouth. You gotta love those Aussies! We all bonded that night as group over a game of one-armed, left-handed table tennis and a party on the bus in the parking lot. We were all starting to gel really well as a group by this point. 
Thanks to Catherine and Mirte for the photos.

I'm just amazed that there is actually a sandwich like that. Jess had both Hawre and Jinyoung wide-eyed in repulsion at the very thought of eating such a thing. And she promised to make one before she returned home, which thankfully never happened.
