A Day on the islands (Whitsundays)




Well today was really great! We woke up early and were picked up by our bus and brought to the Harbour in Airlie Beach where we boarded our ship for the day and then we were off to the Whitsundays Islands for some snorkeling and touring. Our first stop was where we all got out to Snorkel... WOW!!! It was a little chilly once the wind hit ya in the water, but boy did we see alot of really cool fish and coral. It was amazing. Then we all jumped aboard the boat and headed to our next stop, Whitehaven Beach. It had by far the whitest sand you could ever imagine. It was also the same place much of Fools Gold (the movie) was filmed. We took some time to relax in the sun, and then off to the last Island stop for us. We took a small boat to shore and did a walk through the rain forest up to a really neat look out and saw one of the most amazing views of the White sand and Coral Sea. Then it was a 1 1/2hr ride back, and now were getting ready for bed.


Hope you're all doing well, we'll keep you posted soon. Off to bed to get ready to head to Townsville tomorrow.

Miss you all!

Cheers

Jesse, Kelly, Rhonda, and Eddie
