Winter in Whitsundays: Day 3 & 4

We all woke up this morning nice and early for breakfast. It was really good! We had a ton of fruit which Francis and I loved! It was also gorgeous and sunny out, so everyone was out on the front of the boat. We were sailing back to Airlie today so we all just relaxed.

The crew decided to cut the motor and bring out the sails. It was so windy. My friend from England, Ashley, got sea sick and other people felt woozy. Yucky sailing!!! hahahaha At least it was sunny!


Francis and I basically stayed in bed most of the morning and napped.

Once we got ashore we got our flip flops back (FINALLY) and headed to the Lagoon with Pam, Daryl, etc. Basically everyone was going there for some fun in the sun? Haha! After Francis and I got burnt ( ..pale ginger kids!) we walked around Airlie and bought some postcards.

At 4, Francis and Kara left to go catch their shuttle to the airport. Daryl and I went back to Beaches and checked into our room. We scored by getting a room together!! Really glad I met her. So we showered (after 3 days!! GAH!) and watched some telly. We were going to the Habibi After Party at Phoenix nightclub. We got there to find most of the boat there!!!

We got free pizza and drinks. Such a good night. We danced and laughed. So glad I stayed that extra night!

I woke up Saturday and checked out of Beaches again. I headed over to Airlie Beach to see the Saturday market. I saw Pam on the way and she told me a guy was selling Aqua de Coco there! I was so excited, I haven't had that since Brasil. We arranged to meet up at the Lagoon later.

The market was great. There were camel rides along the beach, food stalls, jewelry, clothes, etc. I bought something called "Kiwi Bread" .. basically Australia's version of German or Dutch bread. Yum. I also bought handmade anklets for Alysha and Bia. I bought one for myself too.. I love them!




The rest of the day was pretty relaxed. Lounged on the beach with James, Tam, Steph, Ashley and Pam. 5 of us were on the same Jetstar flight that evening, so we all stayed together.

At the airport, our flight was an hour late, so we played tons of card games. I laughed so hard. A bunch of Brits, a South African and me. Too much fun!!!

Back in Brissy, we said goodbye to Tam and James and Ashley, Steph and I took a shuttle back to the Gold Coast. Ashley lives in Byron right now, so we arranged to meet up in a few weeks.

All in all, the most amazing little vacation!!! I would recommend it to anyone who comes here!! xo
