Day 8: 16/6/13 Happy Fathers Day, Daddy!! I didn't sleep much at all on the night bus. I was turning and twisting the whole time. I might have slept about two hours in total I'd say. There were only about 12 people on the bus so we'd plenty of space but I just couldn't get comfortable, especially when the bus kept stopping and starting and pulling up for breaks. We got to Rainbow beach at about 9:30am. I couldn't check in until 11 so I went in search of a cafe...

Day 7: 15/6/13 Today I had a lazy day. I had to check out at 10. I had everything fairly ready so I was able to sleep in until after 9. I put my luggage in storage in the hostel and then I went for breakfast. There's a lagoon near the beach that you can swim in so lots of people hang around there. I spent most of the day there. I saw a little book market by there that had books for $2- the cheapest books I've seen in Australia! So I had to buy one! I spent most...

Day 6: 14/6/13 We were up at 6:30 this morning for breakfast and then we had another chance to go snorkelling. We only had about an hour before the boat was going to have to head back to land so lots of people didn't bother snorkelling. I thought I might as well as I don't know when I'll be snorkelling again! Apparently there were jelly fish near where we jumped in but I didn't see them. There were lots of clams around. All you can see are these purple colourful...

Day 5: 13/6/13 We had to be up for breakfast this morning at 7. It wasn't too early as I hadn't been in bed that late. Some had been complaining that others were really loud all night but I didn't hear them! We had breakfast and then you could go snorkelling if you wish in Manta Ray bay. We had moved there at some stage in the morning and I hadn't even noticed. Shows you how calm the waters are. We all had to get into the wet suits again, which is a pain in the...

Day 4: 12/6/13 I was up around half eight this morning. I'd to repack my bag so that the things I'd need would be in my small bag. It was hard enough to do considering we didn't know what we would need! I had said I'd meet the Swiss, Luana, and the Italian girl, Maggie for breakfast. So we went and checked in for the boat and then had a nice breakfast by the water. We had to be at the marina for the boat at 11:30. One of the guides came and spoke to us all abo...
