We got to Airlie Beach early afternoon after leaving Magnetic Island. We got picked up and taken to our hostel 'Koalas', and from the moment I got into the dorm, I wanted to leave. It was disgusting and grotty (dont ever stay there!!!!) Maybe I was being fussy but Ben and Gavin werent to fussed either. We then set off to find somewhere alot nicer and settled with Beaches- where we were originally going to stay anyway. They were fully booked so had to spend one night in the grotty hole!!!!
Made the most of that night thou and went out with 3 welsh girls who we had met earlier that day. Sarah and Sophie were both from Cyncoed and turns out that me and Sarah had been in lectures together in uni this year- such a small world. Had a great night, started in Beaches till it closed at midnight and then we went to a place called Soda Bar. All had a good dance and drink to numb the pain of sleeping in our dirty shack!!!!!
Beaches was a much nicer hostel, more like a bedroom with a tv and a fridge so we spent many evenings watching American Idol and other reality shows. Got to watch neighbours and Ben could watch the Ashes!
Airlie has a really nice lagoon so spent most of our days sunbathing there and cooling off with a dip in the huge pool. Airlie was also our departure point for the Whitsundays cruise, so we ended up spending quite a bit of time there!!! Also managed to stock up on some clothes with my birthday money-was glad to throw some of my old clothes in the bin!!!!
Not really too much to say, met some nice people, had some good nights out, but basically just chilled for a week. Place is slightly expensive for food but thatsbecause theres not really much else there so they know you will pay the prices!!! Midnight bus journey next- off to Agnes Water and the town of 1770!!
