Mollymook Mix Today is the first day of Autumn, and I just got back from only my second road trip of the year, and the first with my gay French car. I made a "Mollymook Mix" the night before, and luckily it was sunny enough in Sydney to get through the CD, and out to Wollongong, with the roof off. Mollymook Mix: Amsterdam - Guster Two Words - Mos Def and Kanye West Ding Dong - Nellie McKay In The Waiting Line - Zero 7 We Aint - The Game feat. Eminem Celebrity Sanctum - Dogs Die In Hot Cars This Sad Song - Alison Krauss and Union Station Gunz Yo - Sage Francis Hello - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Living for the City - Stevie Wonder Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day Tropical Iceland - The Fiery Furnaces California - Low Can't You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones Hey Porcupine - Josh Rouse Comfortably Numb - Scissor Sisters Me and Mia - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Common People - Pulp  Once through Wollongong, we ended up in quite a fog, but decided to keep the roof down. Just outside of town, we ended up following a stretch limo pulling a trailer. "Oil, that is... Texas Tea!!!"We arrived in Mollymook and had a lovely sleep, before heading off the next day for my diving lesson in Ulladulla. First was the classroom instructions, and then it was off to the pool to get used to the equipment. I realized that the wet suit I borrowed was a bit small, but, once I put the thing on, I didn't think it was wise to try and peel it off.  It was free swim for the kiddies at the pool, and I suddenly developed quite a large audience. Everything went smoothly except that I couldn't seem to get my mouthpiece recovery down. My instructor eventually became frustrated, and gave me the finger underwater. We headed to the ocean to take the actual dive. It was a bit weird getting used to walking carrying all the equipment, and for some reason they had to strap about 40 pounds on to me to get me sinking. Must be all of the muscle mass. I fell over getting in the water, and had to be helped up, but once we were under, I was amazed by how relaxed I felt. About 5 minutes into the dive, the instructor pointed to something in the water. I expected to see a brightly coloured fish, but nearly wet my pants when I saw a huge, grey object in front of me. Suddenly the whole world went slow motion, as the most beautiful creature I have ever seen swam around me in circles. My heart was racing, my eyes were bulging, and Goosebumps covered my body. I don't know how long the dolphin stuck around for, but it seemed like an eternity. When he left, he had a big smile on his face, and seemed to be waving goodbye... "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"  The rest of the dive was amazing as well, but I will never forget that dolphin, as long as I live. When we returned to land, the instructor was as excited as I was. It turns out that seeing a dolphin underwater is once in a lifetime, even for a professional.For dinner that night, we headed to Bannister's Point Lodge. The food was incredible, but for some reason they seemed to want to get us out as fast as possible. We were so tired from our dive that by the time we were finished we were exhausted. We stopped at the Kiama blow hole, but it didn't seem to be in the mood to perform. So, basically we looked at some rocks. We did, however take a picture of me and the gay French car, with accentuated tummy flab.
