Wednesday 9th December – Whitsunday islands cruise, Hook island, snorkel, stinger suits, Whitehaven beach, Daydream island...
7.45 am pick up for our Whitsunday island tour – another early start, a bit like being at work without all the dull and boring stuff during the day.
On board we are met by a very friendly crew, tea and Lamington cake. Captain Clay explains the itinerary for the day and we set sail. First stop Hook island for snorkelling, sunbathing and walking. Stingers (evil stinging jelly fish creatures, which can kill) are in abundance in this region at this time of year so it is not safe to swim without a stinger suit. This is a bit like a baby’s romper suit in lycra, only attractive if slim......
Snorkelling, sunbathing, walking, underwater coral observatory, feeding fish and then back on board for an all you can eat wonderful buffet.
Second stop Whitehaven beach for sunbathing and swimming. The boat had a photographer, who thought that everyone should pose on the beach, in Father Christmas hats – not funny, and no there is one of Janet and Jeff.
Then off to Daydream Island which is a purpose built resort for day trippers – pool, water sports, golf, shops and oddly New Zealand ice cream bar.
The day was over far too quickly but it gave us an excellent taster of the islands.
Too tired to cook we went to Fish D’Vine for dinner, and boy was it divine – a definite recommendation for anyone,
Love & hugs
