A slow morning in our lovely airbnb, having a bit of a lie-in, in the most comfortable bed so far this trip!

We head to Le Sorelle Coffee House for flat whites (4.0) and breakfast wraps (tasty). Then a few minutes drive to Horseshoe Bay - Bailhache's favourite beach so far :) Stay here for a bit enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

Eventually drag ourselves away from the sun and sand to the car for the short 1hr drive to our next stop - Airlie Beach, for the Whitsundays!

Once at Airlie Beach, we head straight to our hostel, Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat, to check in. The bed is teeny! Apparently couples are able to share a "King single" bed... So that will be a cosy nights' sleep.

Out in to Airlie Beach esplanade, we instantly recognise the backpacker focussed high street from Cairns. Every second shop is an organisation that will make your holiday dreams come true! (...and take some of that pesky money off your hands). But then we're roped in to an Official Guinness World Record attempt by the local ambulance service - to have the most consecutive people performing CPR. Apparently the record is currently in the 700s, and they're aiming for 800+. We were 659 and 660, so we'll have to check in tomorrow to see if they did it!

At a nearby pub we book sea kayaking for tomorrow, and airbnbs for Mackay and Rockhampton. Foxy tries a paddle, only slightly out off by Bailhache reading the wrong descriptions for his 7 tasters.... (Sorry boss).

Picking up some salad, chicken, houmous and some terrible budget vino (Foxy's choice.... Clearly revenge for getting the paddle wrong) we have a budget evening in watching Transformers on our tiny bed. #livingthedream! :)
