The most beautiful beach on earth

July 18th Monday Airlie Beach

I've got a few minutes before I have to catch an overnight bus to Hervey Bay and just needed to tell you about the absolutely gorgeous 3 days i've had. I was scheduled for a 3 day sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands staying 2 nights at a lovely little resort on the island of South Molle.

The weather was lovely, a bit chilly at night but lovely during the day. Our first day consisted of the 2-3 hour sail out there a bit of chill time (free golf course, tennis court, massive pool and waterfall jaccouzi) and then dinner at our private beach front bar.

The next day we went to what has been given the title as 'Australia's best beach' and one of the world's top 10 beaches. Whithaven island. Only a few kilometers long the sands on this island are a blinding white made 98% of silica which made it as soft as silk! On the way home we were accompanied by some dolphins and were even able to spot a whale in the distance!

Our final morning they had us get up early again (quarter to 7) for breakfast and then a 2 hour sail to one of the best spots on this part of the Great Barrier Reef for some snorkeling. The water was a bright aqua sea foam and the fishes looked like neon signs found all over the red light district of shinjuku in Tokyo. The best bit had to have been spotting 'Elvis' a massive rass? fish about 2-3 meters long - quite friendly :)

its been a great relaxing few days and I am now stoked to be heading out to Frasier Island - the world's largest 'All Sand Island' for 3 days of camping and awesome 4 wheel drive treks (no paved roads on the island)

More on that later


P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARSHINI!!!!!
