Dag 5
Airlie Beach (again)!
21 september 2020, Australië ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Our original plan was to hire a car today and drive up to Bowen but we decided to scrap those plans and just hang out here again in Airlie.

Similar day to two days ago - breakfast in the room followed by a quick shop then a scooter around the corner to the coffee shop. It was a beautiful day today - the best we’ve had here so far. So much so that by lunchtime it was definitely warm enough for a swim. We had another BBQ by the lagoon and followed it up with a really pleasant dip.

After lunch some quiet time back in the room along with our daily run. I had planned to do a bush walk but we kind of just ran out of time. We grabbed some Indian for dinner and ate it down by the water then headed back to the hotel to watch the big game (Port ca Collingwood - for the record Port won and ended up minor premiers woot!)Meer informatie

Dag 4
Ocean Rafting/Whitehaven
20 september 2020, Australië ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Caught the shuttle bus out to the marina and eventually boarded our ocean raft. We were lucky enough to be sitting on the edge of the boat for a lot of the trip which was fun. Conditions weren’t too bad - it was a little choppy on the way back but that just added to the fun.

First stop was hills inlet where we walked up to the lookout then down to the beach. We hung out here for a couple of hours. I was a little disappointed that they’d decided not to go down to the “southern” part of the beach - which is the actual beach itself. Where we were was pretty nice though and we had a nice swim. We saw some fish and also a few sting rays. The water was so beautiful and crystal clear - it’s amazing.

After lunch and a swim we were back in the boat and heading to another stop to feed some fish. This was pretty cool as we got some real close ups of some pretty big fish. 5 mins down the bay and we arrived at our snorkel point. We jumped in for a quick snorkel, saw a few fish but to be honest I was so paranoid about sharks that I didn’t really enjoy it. I think the kids did though - Hamish was a bit scared to put his face under water at first but once he did he enjoyed it.

Then it was the bumpy trip back in to end what was all in all a pretty good day. We decided to walk back to the hotel then have a run/break before heading out for some Korean chicken for dinner. Turned out to be a good choice in the end.Meer informatie

Dag 3
Airlie Beach
19 september 2020, Australië ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Started the day with a stroll through the markets they have set up here on the water each Saturday. Not the biggest most extensive markets I’ve seen but pleasant enough.

Next up was a scoot along the boardwalk over to Cannonvale, with a quick stop at the skate park on the way. The kids had a bit of fun throwing rocks for a hit before we made our way back to Airlie again.

Lunch was a BBQ on the water by the lagoon followed by a swim. This time we decided to force ourselves to join the kids in the pool - it was slightly warmer today with the sun out more often than not so that helped.

After the swim it was time for each of us to do our run and we both went around to where the jet skis were yesterday which was a little longer than the straight mile we’d been doing.

Dinner was a semi ordinary pizza on the water and that rounded off another day at Airlie.Meer informatie

Dag 2
Jetskiing and Airlie Beach
18 september 2020, Australië ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Woke up this morning with plenty of time before our JetSki tour. Had breakfast with the friendly cockatoos - who ate out of our hand - before heading downstairs to wait for the bus.

Did our safety brief then got ourselves kitted up for the tour. It was really quite windy today and I was quite glad we signed up for the easier tour around Airlie Beach instead of going out to the islands. I was with Hamish and at first I was quite tentative. Because it was so choppy that made it harder because you needed speed to get over the waves and i wasn’t confident enough! Eventually I started feeling a bit better and the guy suggested we give the boys a go at driving. Hamish did a bit with me - and did well - but then the instructor let him drive on his jet ski. So I had some time on my own which was fun because I was so much less worried and just let go! We finished off at a bay with a whole lot of sea turtles poking their heads out which was pretty good, then it was one last quick burn around before heading in. Boys seemed to have fun which was great (although Hame was complaining of sore legs by the time we went in).

Came back to Airlie, had a quick shower and went out for some chips by the water. This afternoon we didn’t do a whole lot just went down to the lagoon for a swim - we decided it was just a little too cold - even Hamish wasn’t that keen. Hame went in but we gave it a miss.

Another rest in the room before Hamish’s choice for dinner - maccas. We are all a bit tired and burnt tonight from all this action!Meer informatie

17 september 2020, Australië ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Flight just after midday today made for a nice easy morning getting ready then making our way to the airport. Relatively quick and easy flight to Proserpine before boarding the shuttle which would take us to the hotel.

Arrived at the hotel to find out we had a *much* better room in the hotel section (last time it was the motel) with ocean views - I think I paid extra for those - so we were pretty happy.

We let the boys kick the footy and wrestle for a bit while we each did our daily run along the water. A quick shop then dinner at the pub before and ice cream and walk by the lagoon. Fairly busy first afternoon!Meer informatie
