The weather hadn't been so great since surfing, so we decided rather than sit around our hotel room all day watching TV, we would try and give me a heart attack for a bit of action! lol I don't know why I agreed, but Wednesday morning we were on a bus, heading towards a theme park! Now I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to rides and Ian knew this! But this didn't matter; we were going on the scariest looking ride first 'The Giant Drop'!!!! When we had arrived, t...

We all got dressed into our gear and in pairs we carried our bright yellow boards to the beach.

Next we saw Walsh's Pyramid, which is the highest freestanding natural pyramid in the world! Abo...

Wow!!! What a fab day!!! We started our trip at 8am this morning, on a very large boat called Ocean Spirit 3. There were quite a number of people on there, mainly Germans and most of them were just snorkeling today, but we thought we would be a little adventurous and try out a scuba diving introduction! We were told it was perfect weather to go out in the water, 5 knots (think that's how you spell it) and that only happens 20 days of the year! We were presented...
