Chris and Laura do Tonga
It's been a while since we updated anything - have had a pretty busy week!
Monday and Tuesday last week we went on a guided tour of Fraser Island on a huge 4x4 bus. The island was so much bigger than we expected and it's hard to believe it is all sand. We did lots of forest walks, walked up freshwater creeks, swam in lakes and attempted to spot lots of wildlife. We saw a few scary looking spiders and some Dingos! We slept in very cool tents with beds (probably our nicest accommodation yet!) and the campsite even had a dishwasher!
Wed night we got the bus to Airlie Beach ready to do a trip to the Whitsunday Islands. We went on a Maxi sailing yacht for 3days and 2nights. There were just 15 of us plus 3 crew on an 83ft racing yacht. The sailing was such good fun with the boat tipping right on its side and we all had to help out winching up the sails and steering. We also did lots of snorkling, went to the most beautiful beach I have ever seen and managed to meet with a dive boat for us to do another dive on our last day. That was fantastic - the coral so beautiful and so huge and there were so many fish - lots of them followed us along which was really cool! Sleeping on board was fun too.
Today we have come to Magnetic Island for 2 nights and are staying at a really cool backpackers on the beach. Hoping to hire either scooters or a little car tomorrow to get about and then the next day we are going to Cairns.
The time is flying now we are nearing the end of the trip.
Hope everyone is ok
Love Laura and Chrisxx
