Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th December 2011
Wednesday mainly consisted of catching up on some sleep and Sofia and I getting our arses into gear and planning our route down south.....
Gilligans Hostel has its own travel agent so we spent a good couple of hours booking our Whitsunday sailing trip and Fraser Island. The boat we had wanted to go on was fully booked so we had to go on a slightly more expensive one, which to be fair suited me as a much nicer boat! This trip is a two day one night stay where we sail round some pretty amazing islands. We also booked Fraser Island, which consists of a two night camping trip on a beach, should be interesting.
We had hoped we could get on the overnight bus on Thurs but as this was full we had to book on the day bus which means Thursday will be spent travelling down to Airlie Beach.
I then planned the rest of my journey so I land in Sydney on the 23rd - so the plan of action is:
Airlie Beach
Whitsunday Islands
Fraser Island
Noosa
Surfers Paradise
Bryon Bay
Sydney
I am staying with Sofia until Noosa then we part ways and aim to meet up in Sydney again.
The rest of this afternoon was spent at the Lagoon in Cairns, you can't swim in the sea so they have, what basically is, a large outdoor swimming pool! So we just sat and subathed, first time I have done this! The Christmas decs are up everywhere (looking bit hot and bothered in pic!) and it is so weird to see a Christmas tree up in the sunshine!
We then met up with a the UK girls and went out for a few drinks with the crew from our Great Barrier Reef Trip. Experienced my first Goon drink, which is what backpackers drink, its awful!!
Thursday had a pretty rough start as hungover from horrible Goon and had to be on the bus at 7am to take us to Airlie beach - just a 14hr journey!!
So, not much to report this day as just slept on the bus! Checked into Nomads Hostel in Airlie which turns out to be a pretty nice hostel (well as hostels go!). We popped out for a walk and couple of beers then bed early.
Tomorrow should be nice as we are having a chilled day in Airlie beach and the UK girls arrive in the morning.
