After finally arriving in Airlie beach after another stupidly long bus journey and a 4am arrival, we decided sleep was a must before spending 3days eating, sleeping and partying on a boat! My worst flipping nightmare! and to top it off.... ITS RAINING!!!!
Anyhoo... it is what we make it!!! and it was!! For 3 days that we were sailing around the Whitsundays... it actually did not stop pouring. But We stillhad a flipping brilliant time and the best crew to motivate us ever!
Day one was spent arriving at where we were to sleep for the night. This was between Whitsunday Island and Hook Island. Here was just a case of eating and sleeping (no drinking involved mother hen... nope not at all! ) Having to share a bed with Vic was not the best experience of my life... especially when they are about 2 foot wide!! but we survived,that is the main thing!
Day 2 involved us going to Whithaven beach. Im sure it is beautiful, and it still was when we arrived, but its not quite the same when the rain is hammering down around you as 30 degree heat! But we got to swim with sting rays and sharks so that was all good fun.
Our 2nd night was spent near Hayman island. A place for snorkelling and diving (though we are saving our diving for further up the coast!) Snorkellingis still fun though we didntget to see any turtles yet Vics best part I reckon was going down the slide off the boat.... actually felt about 5 again! I gave the diving board a miss though! The crew decidd it would be funny to throw food to the fish right next to our heads so the fattest shoal of fish jumping at my face! had to tell myself out loud that they are jsut 'big fish' hahahaha
So it was fancy dress and game night..... and also the night before Vics birthday... we celebrated in true style but werent prepared for the hangover day on a boat
So day 3 was time to turn back towards mainland.Only a 3 hour journey in rough seas.... yup the perfect way to spend a day ona boat for me! Only spent 3 hours staring at the horizon..... meanwhile, vicky was saved by a hot dog! hahaha And the crew kindly told everyoneabout my sea sickness....thanks muchly!!
YAY dry land.... or not so dry and torrential rain! but hey my legs wereon firm ground though my head.... still ona boat (even as I write this a day later stiiiiiiiiiiiilllll swaying!!! Or is it the buildings moving!??!?!)
SO ye, all in all, an awesome trip, but would have been a 10000000000000000000000000 times better if the sun decided to put his hat on!!
you willhave to wait for more pixie adventures!!!! xx
