It seems hope was not on our side . .
The bad weather decided to follow us all the way down the East Coast, at times I thought I was back in England! When we arrived in Arlie Beach the sun had decided to come out and we thought this was a safe sign to book our boat trip to the Whitsunday Islands.
Whoa could we have been more wrong? What appeared to be a nice day turned into the worst day, weather wise, Arlie Beach has seen all year! Well . . you may as well do it properly!
This resulted in all four of us clinging to the raft as we flew threw the air and smashed down on the water with as much force as hitting a brick wall . . Although this didn’t stop us appreciating the amazing sights we got to see!
One of which was the Whitehaven Beach, one of the most famous spots in Oz and the fourth most photographed place! With the sand 99.8% pure it is the purest beach in the World and as you can imagine, is quite a sight! Unfortunately, we saw it hiding under a tree as we already felt like we had pneumonia and didn’t fancy sitting on another beach in the rain.
By the time we arrived back to shore the man driving felt so sorry for me (most probably because I looked worse than a drowned rat or was worried he would actually get sued for giving me pneumonia) that he sorted me out a hot shower in the hotel we docked into . . .
That definitely made it worthwhile, after using any shower I could find for the last few weeks the enjoyment of a hot shower in a real bathroom was indescribable! Especially as I got to dry myself outside of a tiny shower cubicle and without my flip flops on! Ah, the things I have learnt to appreciate!
Next up Hervey Bay . .
