Ah god!! Today was my best day ever!!! Firstly... I didn't get sea sick.... But the hyoscine worked a treat on drying out my mouth.... But I can cope with that....! The cruise and pontoon was being filmed today for some weekend show.... Queensland weekender or something.... But apparently loads of famous people on board... And i got filmed too!!! We then were setting off for Knuckle lagoon pontoon when we saw 6/7 whales and babies (don't think they were calfs though) playing in the water and breaching around the boat!!! We stayed in one place for over 45 mins watching them! What an amazing experience.... Arrived at the pontoon where it was a little overcast and cold...but that didnt stop any activities I snorkelled with a huge maori rass, went on a glass bottom boat, went in a semi submerge submarine and to the underwater chamber of the pontoon....food was delish, morning and afternoon tea too!!! Absolutely brilliant day.... And to top it off we had a sunset cruise back to long island!! Perfect! Met some people on the return journey to long island so went for dinner and drinks with them, turns out that there was a free party going on laid out by the manager who was there this evening so had a few beers and food on the hotel.... Then watched a bit of a film (robin williams... Not sure of the title) in the open air whilst in a hot tub/jacuzzi having a cheeky beer... Abd watching clear skies and stars...Finishing off the night with the Wales rugby... Terrible score... And they deserved to win....!
But now I'm writing this in my own double bed private room m with 2 pillows doing the star fish...life doesn't get much better
The best day on this trip by far.... Shame the girls aren't with me to share it!! Off on a sailing adventure tomorrow.... The guys I met today went on it today and said it was amazing so I can't wait now.... Though I wish I could have more days on the island since there is so much to do.... Including reef fishing, where what you catch they cook for you free of charge that evening.... Tons of water sports and the most beautiful beach.... We had food and drinks on the beach/ by pool bar this evening all lit by candles and blow torches...! It was beautiful.... It's technically a hostel.....but by god it's so good.... The facilities and general feel of the island so far is nothing less than 4-5* hotel!! Can I stay here much longer please.....? Xxxxx
