Its been a longgg time--much to catch you up on.
The Whitsundays were so beautiful! Its's like a sailors paradise---sailboats everywhere ya look. I spent the first two nights on Airlie Beach--the main harbor town. From there I took a long boat ride out to the middle of the Coral Sea to snorkel the reef! I met a girl from London and a girl from Canada. We had a lot of fun with alll the bright colored fish and 86 degree water! I'm pretty excited that I got to see the Great Barrier Reef! It was veryyyyy awesome! A dolphin followed our boat around for a second too, which was a bonus :)

The next two nights I stayed at South Molle Island, aka: Koala Adventure Island. Except--there are no Koalas, so I don't understand that name? It was very secluded and tropical! I liked it a lot. I think there were only 15 people on the island the whole time. They had some really delicous nachos too!

The final two nights I spent at Daydream Island. Now I could have stayed here forEVER. A small little island, but jam packed with good things. I saw a couple sunsets here finally! I also went sailing from this island too around the entire Whitsunday Island. We sailed to Whitehaven beach which is on e of the top ten beaches in the world. Sadly, it rained the entire time we were on the beach so it lost some of its prettiness. I loved the sailing though--real relaxing. I was sad when it was over :)

The times in between my adventures were spent basking in the Aussie sun, it was the warmest it had been in a long time they said..it was a greattttt week! go there!
The day after I got back--i soaked up some more sun and then headed to Toowoomba to see a Switchfoot show! To my dismay---one hour before the show the entire festival flooded! I slowly realized that there would be no concert :( The main tent even crashed in! yikes! They evacuated the whole place. The water was at least mid-calf at some points and rushing really fast. I believe Toowoomba just recovered from floods not too long ago. Bummer for them. Bummer for all! The next day--switchfoot blogged and said they played a show anyway! One that they will never forget----tears.
Easter/ My 21st birthday was a different story! What a blast! Went to church in the am and had a couple people ask if we wanted to go surfing at Noosa Heads....is that even a question that needs to be asked? YES i want to go surfing! On my birthday especially. So after a quick lunch stop, I just surfed all day. Quite literally. It was the "absolute ultimate"! Just needed the Kahuna and Moondoggie to be there, and it would've been perfect! After the sun was setting we made our way to the night service at church, got coffee at Mooloolaba, and made cookies and hung out after that! Wonderful day!

Noosa Heads---happy happy 21! |
