Fam fun

Airlie 27/9/2016

The party’s over – we had a blast.

Ten glorious days of perfect weather cruising the Whitsundays with daughter Misha.  We went to all the best spots at the best times. We swam, we sang, we danced, we drank, we ate, we laughed a lot, shared some memorable happy hours with Ray and Di on "All that Jazz".

Highlights were climbing to the top of Whitsunday Peak from Cid Harbour, a 5 km trek that took 3 hours and tested our fitness.  The views from the top were well worth it.

 

 

 

 

 

Another highlight was the unexpected surprise discovery at Tongue Bay: a magnificent white sandy cay - dotted with about a million sightseers who fortunately didn't stay too long.

Me, Di, Misha

 

 

Misha certainly got the lion's share of it all.  She had a one day overlap with youngest daughter Shoni and family before sailing back to catch her flight out of Hamilton Island. Ray and Di very generously took us all out for a sail on their (much bigger) yacht to snorkel at Langford reef.  After that it was shorter visits with the others who were staying on the land in a caravan park. (Will post some more photos of that as they come in.)  Needless to say a wonderful time was had by all.  And now it's back to sailing. Yay!!
