A while back, I went to Rottnest Island for a long-needed break.
Ferry Trip (to and fro) = $72
Food = $0
Tour for Humpback Whale-watching = $56
Accomodation = $46
Approx total cost = $174
In the end, God worked His marvelous powers and gave me huge discounts and blessings.
Ferry Trip (to and fro) = $0
Food = $2 (the ice popsicle was sooo good)

I honestly don't really know how God made this trip so full of free stuff. And it wasn't just me, two of my friends had equally free ferry trip, accomodation and discounts on tour. The entire trip was a time of fellowship with friends and God, and rest from work and uni. It was definately my 'richest' and most blessed holiday, despite only being one day.
I was also rather thankful that none of us got hurt during the trip. Cz Rottnest Island is famous for tourist getting injured while riding bikes (cz it's really hilly and the roads are abit uneven). We rode the bikes for 6 hours (22km) and none of us got hurt! I even brought all the meds and first-aid, prepared to use my first-aid knowledge on the trip. Guess I didn't need them, just needed God. :)
To add to the miracles, the tour guide told us that we were not guaranteed to see whales, cz whales come and go when they want. And it's actually quite rare to be able to see whales there. So my friends and I prayed to see a whale on the boat, and we saw two! A mother whale was teaching a baby whale to do tricks in the sea, like jumping up and flipping over, etc. It was truly amazing to see such a sight, even the tour guide was excited.
God, thanks for giving me such a blessed trip, thanks for preparing everything for us and for being so so so gracious.
