Whitsunday Islands + Rainbow Beach/Fraser Island

Hey there!
We have come back from our AMAZING Whitsunday Islands trip of 2 days / 2 nights on a boat with 8 other guests! the beaches we saw: Whitehaven beach, long island beach were the whitest beaches we have ever seen and the sand is knowed to be the finest on earth! Whitehaven beach is actually one of the most pictured beach on earth and we understood why... The shape of the beach is formed everyday differently because of the reef and the changing tides. Our skipper managbed to bring us to the look out point of whitehaven beach at night, which was very unusual compared to all the other boat cruises, and although it was beautiful we got bitten by sandflies everywhere and mine are still hurting because i have been itching :s

We have snorkelled everyday twice and we did actually swim with a giant turtle, we spotted wild dolphins yeayyyyy and the coral and the many species of fish were just exceptional! We have also tried the stand up paddling (SUP in aussie) (cf emily et fio: le sport favori de jen anniston!). Addind to the beautiful beaches, the amazing snorkelling and the paddling, the atmosphere on the boat was great! The 4 other couples were mainly british and we had a lot of fun. One of them was so burned that he was actually turning from pink to purple as the days passed by.... and their drinking wasn'tbad at all! I found drinking beer and white wine perfect on boat but not red as your stomach does get a bit upside down from the constant moving!!!


After this trip we directly took a 14hours greyhound night bus to rainbow beach, the get away for fraser island. We left yesterday morning for fraser island and just came back right now. We saw an awful lot of dingoes (quite dangerous wild dogs) and have swam in the most beautiful lakes: Lake McKenzie and Lake Wabby where the water collected by rain is turquoise! Our hotel last night was a resort and believe me we were SO HAPPY to finally get away from backpackers hostel and have our own bathroom, extremely clean rooms and shower gels, soap etc... :)

Tomorrow wer are going dolphin feeding and thursday we are leaving for Noosa Heads!

Pictures will be up tomorrow morning i promise!!!
