Whitsunday Trip - Day 3
Saturday 13th February

I woke up in a lot of pain with a very fat swollen ankle. We had the option to go for a 10 minute morning snorkel if we wanted and then had to gather our belongings to check out. Back on the mainland at Airlie beach we checked back into Base hostel. A few of us went for lunch then me and Lisa had a good laugh at Joe hopping from shade to shade patches trying to stop his feet from burning on the ground, and we bumped into Briana and Laura from Brisbane and got to meet Laura's boyfriend who had met her out there.

Me, Lisa, Matt and Joe then decided to go to the lagoon which is like a public swimming area with BBQ's and toilets and everything, great socialising area. When we arrived we bumped into a guy called Patrick who Joe had met back down south of Australia. We left Lisa chatting to Patrick and his friend whilst Joe, Matt and I got in the water and played with Joe's ball that skims along water like you would with a rock on a lake. There were a couple of other groups of people playing the same game and it was just unfortunate that we had some idiot threaten to hit Matt if the ball went near any of his two young daughters swimming around. This British bloke clearly wanted a fight with our American friend Matt and I told him there was no need to be aggressive and that he was in actual fact embarrassing his daughters by shouting at us for something that hadn't yet and wasn't about to happen. After the disruption fizzled down, Yael came and joined us and we all relaxed chatting on the side of the pool. We got ready and I only went out for a couple of hours for some dinner that evening whilst everyone else got drunk, played beer pong and went out to a club. I went back to my room and being fed up of partying and still in pain from my foot gladly got an early night.
