This was to be the place where I would chill out before returning to normal life. I was only here an hour or so when I dashed to the tour desk and booked myself in for two boat trips. That still left me with plenty of free time, which is a good thing at this point in the holiday.
My new definition of relaxation is lying in a hammock on the verandah, during a tropical rain shower, reading my book and idly watching the cockatoos doing gymnastics high up in the palm trees, in an effort to avoid the rain. Why they didn’t just sit under the tree, I will never know. Ah, paradise 🙂
This afternoon’s boat trip to Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, gave me a great opportunity to take more photos of what really is a magnificent part of Australia. Sitting on the upper deck of the boat and photographing the most stunning views, with the cool sea breeze flowing through my hair. What more can I say?
As we cruised home at high speed, the crew were busy checking the manifest to ensure that everyone had made it back on board. They appeared to be having problems as I was asked 3 times if I had signed in. Only in Australia.
