so we got into the town of Airlie Beach late on thursday eve after a long 11hour bus journey! very long time to be on a bus!
ooo the town before was Kroombit! so much fun! rounded up a load of goats on horse back! then did a bit of shooting and then did a goat rodeo! fun fun fun! had a wicked time! then in the eve we learnt how to crack a proper cowboy whip and rode a mechanical bull! best night so far i have to say! i would have happily stayed forever!
so left early in the morning after beans on toast! my trip couldnt have been better!
so Airlie beach is a little town not much going on and they dont really have much of a beach so they have built this lagoon! but it is locally known as the sagoon! its just a pretty swimming pool type thing really!
so on friday me and shaun went for our dive medicals! shaun passed with flying colours while i had to go and have a chest xray to see if my illness 3years ago had left scar tissue and if so i would NEVER be able to dive because i could end up with a big hole in my lungs! so after a few hours of panic and me feeling sick i got the ok to dive! woop woop!
the big day for our sailing trip was finally upon us so we set off at 3pm for the marina!
got aboard and settled into our beds! talk about coffins! na it was snug to say the least!
so first night we pretty much got to know each other and chilled out and tried not to chuck up! lol
next day we rose early and headed to whitehaven beach! 3rd bestest beach in the world and wow it was beautiful! went swimming in our stinger suits otherwise we could have DIED! lol yep the jellyfish are that evil!
we then got back aboard and had lunch and headed off to another site to snorkel and dive! we didnt dive but freyr and mark did! the snorkeling was amazing! took millions of pics! the underwater camera case was the best thing we have bought so far!
next day we headed for another site! me and shaun jumped off the boat into the water instead of taking the little boat to sure! we were in the water and looking around thinking the water was full of stuff when we realised it was millions and millions of jellyfish! dont worry we were in our stinger suits! they were no bigger than my little finger nail! we got stung so many times on the face, hands, feet and everywhere they could reach! they dont do any damage but man they hurt!
saw so many fish again! took some film this time as we only had 13mins left on the battery!
we had a wicked time! the only downside was we STANK!
so we are chilling out in Airlie Beach until first thing tomorrow then we are off to Townsville! there me and shaun learn to dive!!!!!!!!!!! so excited!
ooooo just to say that clumsy shaun has struck again! lol he fell out of bed! no it gets better! he was in the top bunk! he lent against the rails and it gave way!!
never laughed so much in my life! dont worry he wasnt injured!
love charlie and shaun!
