After a much needed coffee and pain au chocolat, we embarked upon the 2 3/4 hr flight.
The heat when we stepped off the plane was amazing! It's about 34 degrees here, but quite humid.
The Whitsunday Islands are at the Southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and are a group of 37 Islands varying in size with Hamilton Island being the largest. Having said this only 30% of the island has been developed for tourism enabling visitors to enjoy both the man made luxury and the natural beauty of this amazing place.
The view from our balcony......
And now for the beach....
I think the only other time I can remember not being cold in the sea was in Dubai...bath temperature water....amazing!
And now I regret not applying sun cream .....although the Russian tourists looked worse....sort of!
Thanks to AD for the loan of the Panasonic Lumix water proof camera..available at all good retailers (or free on loan until AD leaves Panasonic at the end of the Month!)
Lifeguard Wiliam saves the old man he saw floundering in the pool!
Did I say thank you to AD for the loan of his camera?
Golf buggies .... No cars on the island, this is how we roll!!!
Keep your doors locked....the Cockatoo's make a real mess of your room!
And relax,
