Day 78 - Sat 10th June - Have been sailing all morning on a Catamaran, reminded me of being in Jamaica :o) It was fantastic to be on my own sailing between the islands in the turquoise sea. I just had to remind myself hoiw to turn without knocking myself out.....had a few close calls, but got the hang of it as the wind started to rise and got some good speed the further out I went. Great way to start the day and thought I would reward myself with full cooked brun...

Day 77 Fri 9th June - Another wonderful lay in until 9am - Obviously had a little too much to drink last night as couldn't find where I parked the buggy last night!!!! Finfally found it & drove for my breakfast smoothie through a downpour. Weather still a bit dodge, so decided to encamp at the Yacht club for cocktails and lunch, then thought it was time for some action..........so charted a helicopter for the most beautiful flight from Hamilton Island out and ov...

Day 76 Thursday June 8th....A lay in at last and then hired a golf buggy which is the preferred mode of transport around the island, so I can go to breakfast at the marina for some lovely fresh juices and smoothes, to make up for the alcohol consumed the night before. Had been watching the cockatoos, paraquets and ravens swooping into the balcony next door and have just heard from the cleaner that they left the door open and now their apartment was in a real mess...

Day 75 Wed June 7th Raining hard in Sydney, so grateful to be on the 3 hour flight northward back to the Whitsunday Islands. This time rather than sailing I will be staying on Hamilton Island. The flight was very smooth until some huge turbulence just before landing. Arrived late afternoon and weather a bit overcast but much better than Sydney's :o) Changed rooms to get an excellent view of the bay from the 9th floor, but have been told to keep the patio doors sh...

Day 74 - 6th June - Stayed in a beautiful hotel with a balcony with superb views of the harbour bridge. Woke up early with a very strong vibe not to go to Thailand and so far on the trip I have always found it worked out better if I followed my instincts, so have decided instead to fly back up to Whitsunday Islands, as I loved it there so much, for a stay on Hamilton Island, so will stay one more night in the in the posh hotel and fly tomorrow lunchtime. Not sure...
