Graeme round the world
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 over the Great Barrier Reef, where the weather was perfect. Wow the colours were unbelievable. Saw Whitehaven beach, Bait Reef where I did my scuba diving and famous Heart Reef, which you can see in the bottom leftof the picture ...........absolutely stunning. It was a very expensive 1 hour flight but the views and the brilliant pilots commentary made it worth every second. When you are sailing or diving on the Reef you see just one persepctive, when you fly you see and entirely new and amazingly colourful view. I am so happy to have seen it from the air and have taken some postcard photos....it just blew me away with it's beauty. It has made my trip to Hamilton Island so worthwhile :o))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
