AIRLIE BEACH: 'WHITSUNDAY ISLANDS'

G'day mate,

The part of our holiday that I'm going to tell you about now was probably the best of all the amazing things we have done so far.

As I said in my previous post, we drove from Mission Beach to Airlie Beach.
This was for a reason.
Australia is famous for its Whitsunday Islands, and then especially Whitehaven Beach.
All tours to the islands start in Airlie Beach.

We did a 3 day sailing trip to the Whitsundays!
It was a-ma-zing.
We were on a beautiful boat with ten other people -including 2 skippers-.
The boat used to be a competitive sailing boat, so in the beginning we did some active, sporty sailing.
But.. That was really short, the rest of the trip there was almost no wind so we did relaxing, sunbathing sailing.

Both nice right? haha.

We were so lucky because we saw 6 whales. Two of them really close to our boat.
It was so special and cool!
-It is breeding season at the moment so we saw many baby whales.-

We did lots of snorkeling and saw the most amazing fish and coral.
It was like swimming in an aquarium.

On the second day we went to Whitehaven Beach which was breathtaking.
It is the most beautiful place I have ever been.
Such white sand and blue water.
Incredible.
I will have to show the pictures, for you to understand what I'm talking about.
-Though in real life it is even better-





























It was amazing...
We also met some really nice people! 4 girls from Italy and a girl from Argentina!
So that was really interesting and fun!
-My parents also made friends haha.-

Love,
Isabelle
