We left Hervey Bay on the overnight bus to Airlie Beach and arrived at 9am. We spent that day lazing by the lagoon (also known as the sperm back for obvious and disgusting reasons!!). Met up with Soph, Justin and Rosie and went out for drinks with them in the evening. On Monday we started out snorking trip around the Whitsunday Islands which again was such good fun! Again we had a wicked group of 21 - mostly girls for a change - hooorah! Our skipper Rob was from Portsmouth and a really good laugh, if a bit grumpy at times!
The first day was beautiful and we got very burnt. We snorkled off Mole island and then went for a sail (reminded me of my sailing days with the Taylors!). We moored for the night at Hooke passage where we watched the sunset, enjoyed a gorgeous meal and played drinking games (for a change). up early the next day to go to Whitehaven beach which is argued to be the best beach in the country. It really was spectacular, despite the clouds rolling in. We went swimming with stingrays and reef sharks which was wicked! that afternoon we went for another sail then stopped at butterfly bay for a snorkel. The reef was amazing and there were thousands of beautiful fish and coral. So colourful! i ever found Nemo! That night was much the same as the first although it started raining in the evening and 3 days later has not stopped! The last day on the boat we got drenched but luckily the sailing was amazing and we got some good speed up heading back to the mainland. As it turns out we were lucky with the weather as it has only got worse since we got back!
The trip was brilliant and we met loads of cool ppl who we went out with on the night in Airlie Beach! Shame the weather is so bad now!!!
