Up at the crack of dawn again! Breakfast at 6:30 so we could be off onto the transfer to Hamilton Island. It was very blowy and overcast but great to watch the islands going passed.

After my best night’s sleep of the tour I was up and at breakfast for 7:30 – scrambled egg on toast. Once I had finished breakfast I had a swim and did 20 minutes of laps – not sure how far this was as the pool was only small. Then it was time to shower… Continue reading Mackay/Airlie Beach/ Day Dream Island – 21st May

Up at 5:30 – I have no idea why but I couldn’t go back to sleep. Anyway, I made the most of the time and managed, with poor wifi, to get another blog posted.

So this was the day we were leaving the Kingfisher Resort so I decided that I had to swim in one of the pools. I had breakfast first and then went over to the pools and found one that was tucked in a corner out of sight of the dinning room. At 8am I had… Continue reading Fraser Island/Town of 1770 – 17th May
