hey ev eryone... we are now at my friend sarahs in buderim on the sunshine coast. our trip to hamilton island was amazing... a real little treasure of a place in australia... what a place to have on your doorstep. our hotel was dreamy, sea views a comfy bed, big balcony to relax on for brekkie and a bath made for two! what more could you want. lol . we arrive to rain and cloud of course but our one full day there on friday was hot hot hot...r eally windy as there is now a cyclone off the shore north of us. ben and i were first out on the kayaks in the morning i think the lcoals thought we were a bit crazy as the waves were pretty big crashing in at the shore. ben and i managed about half hour we kayaked around a little island which we had explored the day before when the tide was out it was covered with crabs once i realised that i put my flip flops back on pretty quick. ryan and cat hit the kayaks next and ryan spent about 3hours out the kayak and a stand up board with a paddle... i think its the closest he has coming to a boat so far so he was happy. ended up a bit like a lobster though after that long out on the sea with no suntan lotion reapplied! the island was like one huge resort you could go in any hotel pool around the island and ther was a cute little marina with lots of big expensive yachts moored. ben and i hired a little golf buggy to explore the island as everyone whizzes around on them! great fun. i hadnt felt so relaxed aND CHILLED out in s long long time. lounged around at the hotel bar and wrote a postcard to work and some friends back home and thats about the one time iv e thought of work and the cold....
island life... i loved it... unfortunatley with only staff liv ing on the island i dont think they need midwives there!. ben went for a massage and ryan and cat jumped on the bus tour of the island on our last morning before heading back to the mainland and back to brisbane city for a night in a backpackers..! this was always going to be interesting after such a luxurious few nights but poor ryan and cat didnt get a good nights sleep at all as there room was over the night club which pum[ped out until 3am... :( ben and usually managed to sleep through most of the noisy backpackers and i just about managed to refrain from storming out into the corridor in my pjs asking them to be quiet lol we all felt so old and maybe a bit passed staying in hostels! lol
up at sarahs today after picking up our next campervan ... got a few nights here which again is lovely... they sorted us out a lovely beach barbeque and hte boys have bought their boogie boards and have been playing in the surf all afternoon which is pretty good due to the cyclonic winds! lol bens board is bent already though!
back for a day on the beach tomoro come rain or shine its going to be warm whatever. then tuesday we are meeting gavin and natalie at wet n wild before heading down the east coast via surfers paradise and coffs harbour, with abit of quad bikin on the way at the sand dunes in port stephens then back to syndey... cant wait! time for some sleep now thought x night all x
