Airlie Beach & Whitsundays

Waking up on the ranch was hard work after such a late & drunken night, but we showered & had an awesome brekkie before saying our goodbyes.

DAY 1:

Logan & I nabbed the back seats of the bus to try & sleep. We had a loooong journey involving a quiz, chatting, looking through photos & piggy backs at service stations.

When we got to Airlie we checked into our hostel & had a good room with (me, Dan, Logan & Jane) and 4 girls from Kroombit: Danielle, Mandy, Zoe & Lucy. Me & Dan had to go check in for our Whitsundays trip before we all got ready to meet Tommy our bus driver for dinner. Tommy had been driving us all for 3 days now and she was unbelievably brilliant. My favourite OZ driver & she just felt like another one of the gang. 

We had dinner & some free beers before heading to another bar. Before I knew it Tommy had signed me up to do jelly wrestling!!! I have never volunteered to do this in my life so why I found myself standing in blue gunk with my skirt hitched up trying to pull a garter off another girl's leg is beyond me! Zoe & Mandy were doing it too & we all thought...what the hell are we doing??? Somehow ended up in the final with Tommy & we got so violent we broke the pool and soaked the crowd in jelly! Oops! She beat me & won $150, but I did get a 40 dollar bar tab for coming second :o) 

By the time we'd got some of the jelly off us everyone had left except Logan who was there waiting for us. Used my bar tab to get us 2 & Zoe & Mandy shots before we went to another bar. 

We all had a drink in there, but then Zoe & Mandy left so stayed out drinking with Logan for a bit longer. Had a really good night...even though I was covered in nasty jelly for half of it!

DAY 2:

Whitsundays time! Woke up & got ready & said a big emotional goodbye to Logan & Jane as we were not going to see them again. Jane was asleep when I said my goodbye to her :o( left a note. Gutted to leave them! As per usual Dan & I were late! We ended up having to run for the boat. Will we ever learn?

On the boat I was sooooo tired from the last few days of mentalness that I kept falling asleep! What a c*** up. I'm on the Whitsundays......asleep! Knob! I kept feeling boat sick too. Really didn't think my actions through. 

Got to meet some lovely people on the boat though & did some snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef! How amazing is that?! There were beautiful fish everywhere. 

Our boat crew were sound & looked after us, awesome food & everything. I was just fully battered & covered in more bruises & scratches and in more pain from aching than I've ever been in my life. Treated the boat like rehab!

DAY 3:

We went to Whitehaven beach which was just beautiful. I saw Zoe. Lucy & Amanda on the beach which was cool. You just keep running into people you've met along the way everywhere!

Had a really chilled out sail back and really enjoyed it. Not much to say about the boat though cause I was so monged out, but the Whitsundays were beautiful & snorkelling was brilliant!

That evening on dry land met up for dinner with everyone off the boat and then called it an early night! Leaving too soon & major realisation that this tail end of the trip was far too crammed, but oh well too late and off to Cairns!
