Luckily the long drive had given the opportunity to plan ahead.
On Saturday we are sailing to 2 days around the Whitsundays on Waltzing Matilda (we hope it is not a kangaroo).
Leaving from Airlie Beach at 8am meant we had to be there Friday night. For the first time the accommodation (prebooked via agent) has been disappointing - real scanky. Luckily only here for one night and a short one at that.
Airlie has it sailing festival this week - Friday night is firework night - just like being at Cowes! Except it is tropical setting.
Interestingly Oz is in general election fever at moment - boat people (immigrants) seem to be one of main issues. Now we are going to be boat people for a few hours at least.
More from Oz on Sunday (& pictures)
Gosh! We were beginning to wonder what had happened to you Guys - had you gone walkabout and gone off radar?!! All sounds very exciting! What a fantastic experience for you all!
ReplyDeleteCar back last night and back on the market. This time next week we will all be packed up and ready to go! Chris finishes work today. better get back to the packing! x
Not sure what happened to my previous response - i think we have v slow connection speed and sometimes it drops out.
ReplyDeleteHope Chris's last day was not too heavy or followed by too much of a hangover. Only a week or so til we will catch up in Port Doug - lots to do before then!
Enjoy packing, safe journey and see you soon.
