I said goodbye to the others and started my 11 hour journey south to Airlie Beach. I arrived at 8, booked into Magnums, met some of my room mates, and sleep soon followed!
My trip round the Whitsundays started at 4, so I spent the morning in Harrys corner and the internet cafe. On the 'New Horizon' the group consisted of 4 Germans, 3 Danes and 2 Swedes and me, I was the only one who couldnt speak another language. That evening we chilled out, got to know erach other before some drinking games!
Valentines day started early, we arrived at Whitehaven Beach (apparently nicest beach in Oz maybe the world) at 8.30 and we had the beach to ourselves for abit. From there we went to Hook Island, spotting dolphins on the way. The water was so clear the snorkelling was amazing. I also went for another dive and I kept sinking because I forgot to adjust the buoyancy jacket. Back on the boat we lured sharks and sea eagles by using bait. This was followed by a beautiful sunset and more drinking games, where 2 crew members started arguing about the definition of a metamorph!
We snorkelled off Hayman Island in the morning, but it was not as clear as Hook Island. We then managed to get the sails up in the rain which was fun. We arrived back in the habour at 2. I bumped into the others and Jamie Banasik at the lagoon. That evening I had some farewell goon with the Camillas and Catherine before heading nto the bus stationfor the overnight bus to Hervey bay!
