After the longest bus trip ever...23 hours... we arrived at the lovelt Airlie Beach! We had booked a sailing trip for the Whitsunday Islands and were looking forward to it loads! So we spent the afternoon just chilling out by the lagoon, not doing a lot! The next day we walked down to the Marina and Boarded the Wings III sailing boat. we knew as soon as we got on it, it was gonna be a good one! The staff were very funny and friendly and we were on with a wicked bunch of people, a few couples, a group of 5 from england 11 from USA and then a few single travellers too! Everyone on the same page to come and have a good time seeing the islands! So we set sail, got our stinger suits on (you cant go in the sea without one cos its jellyfish season) and jumped into the underwater world! AMazing, the coral and fish are such beautiful colours! We sailed then to a few more sites for dives and snorklling and spent the evening getting to know everyone! The food on board was lush too, the host really looked after us, i could go on as it was so nice but i wont bore you.
Day 2- we woke up early and got going to the famous Whitehaven Beach! We had a little trek through some jungle and up to the veiwpoint! Saw a few ratehr large spiders on the way but when we got there WowWee the veiws are amazing! The sand on whitehaven is pure siclia and the swirls change everytime the tide comes in and out! Was beautiful, so we walked down to the beach and got on with taking pics and the lads had a game of American Football! couldnt stay too long though as the tide was changing but as we were leaving a school of baby sharks came into the swallows but were scared of us and wouldnt come close! So after that we got back aboard and got sailing to another island, on the way we hit some rough seas, and Stu the skipper had great fun throwing us aroudn the nets at the front, holding on for our lives getting soaked and having a wicked time! not so fun for the people who had sea sickness though!! The rest of the day we spent just chilling, snorklling and chatting to everyone in the hot tub! Cant beat it! That night we celebrated Dylans 30th from Team USA and his friends got him in fancy dress and we spent the rest of the night sitting under a bright full moon singing to 2 guitars that Team USA had, the best night weve had!!
Day 3- We woke up early to the sound of the anchor going up, so loud from our cabin lol! so we got up so the open water divers could be certified at the last dive site and we done some more snorkelling where we saw a massive turtle!! Then we headed back to the marina, I could have easily stayed on the Wings III for longer, we had such a good time! Spent the afternoon chilling at the lagoon again then all met up for the Wings III after sailing party! Another good night with steph,josh, the 5 and richie our diving instructor! We were all headed to Cairns so we swapped facebooks and numbers to meet up of Australia Day!
