Linda, Isabell, Lena and I were up by 8am so we could book parasailing! We tried not to wake the guy that took Julia's place in our room but it didn't work very well. I called and tried to book us for 10am but they were full already so we settled for noon. We got ready and checked out of our room and headed to the bakery and McDonalds for breakfast. We did some shopping for a while and then headed to the Coral Reef Resort where the parasailing was through. W...

Linda, Isabell and I got up at 7:30 to call and book our day trip to Long Island. Greg was up early so he came with us to get our tickets at the tourist info and then had breakfast with us. We stopped at the bakery again, yuuummy. Greg headed back to the hostel because him and Julia were leaving to go back to the Sunshine Coast and we waited for the bus to Shute Harbour. It is about 15-20 minutes away by bus. We took the FantaSea ferry over to Long Island wh...

We all slept in until 9 or 10ish and then walked up town to get some breakfast at McDonald's. It seemed pretty nice out so we headed for the lagoon.

We said good-bye to Ulie because she was going back to Brisban...

Happy Birthday Philip! We had to be at the jetty by 8:45 so we could have breakfast and head to an island so we could dive! Those who weren't diving could do some snorkelling or hang out on the boat. I was a little bit nervous but mostly excited. They didn't give us much instruction before hand, the instructor that brought me down basically just told me how to equalize my ears. I didn't do it enough and the kept hurting so I had to come up a few times and by...

We had to be at the jetty by 8:30 for a ride over to the boat for breakfast. Once everyone arrived and had had breakfast we took off for Whitehaven beach. Huge waves on the way again, bigger than yesterday. We had a 15-20 minute bush walk to the look out before we made our way to the beach. The view was absolutely beautiful!! It is definitely right up there with Lake McKenzie. It is a huge white sand beach with an amazing view, very hard to describe. We tr...
