Just got back off the Atlantic Clipper where I stayed for the past two nights visiting the Whitsundays. It is truly the most beautiful place. Whitehaven is what my idea of what heaven must actually look like. As soon as I get my photos on here you will understand and if you have seen them you will agree.
We took a 9hr Greyhound bus to Arly Beach and Stayed for the night in Magnums backpackers. Our hut had 6 other northern lasses in it. Very friendly but one had 250 bedbug bites on her!! nice. We got on the Clipper at 2pm and it sailed (ok motored) over to the Whitsundays. There was 53 of us on board. It was a really lovely boat and our cabins were pretty roomy, plus we got a duvet so I was about to have my best nights sleep I have had in 3 weeks. We had all meals provided which was a blessing especially as there was a brilliant cook.
All travellers would have heard of 'The Goon' basically cheap boxed wine that tastes rank. But everyone drinks it so time to get stuck into it as well. Feels like we are back at uni sometimes. There was then lots of card games played and music on the top deck. We have learnt a brilliant card drinking game called 'The ring of fire' I can't explain now but is great for a big group.
Next day we were up early and spent the morning on Whitehaven - beautiful beyond words. Then we went snorkeling obviously on a different part of the Barrier Reef. We saw a huge Turtle loads of fish - parrot fish - so pretty loads of fish big, small. Then got back to the clipper and they attached a huge water slide to the boat - so much fun. Like Green Bank Pool in the old days but I didn't get told off for going head first!!!
Last night there was an erotic story writing competition. I love a competition and I love creative writing so I got stuck into it. Last night they read all the good ones out and for a moment I thought oh no mine was so bad that they weren't going to read it, but he saved the winning story till last and it was mine ha ha. So funny, the crew said they felt slightly arousied reading it so it had to win and I got the prize money of a whopping great $30. There is an after party tonight with the whole crew - can't wait.
Oh aaaaaand One of the crew called Rhyan has just got a job in Neighbours and starts in 5 weeks so I already have his autograph and a photo with him - he said I was his first fan!!! So there is no way he will forget me!! Neighbours fans will understand . . . sisters back me up here!
Off to meet these 2 lovely dutch girls in the lagoon, Scott and I met them at beach Olympics, one of them is an events manager and she said I could have a career in it if I wanted!
Speak again soon xxxx
ps and we saw dolphins last night 5 of them played around the ship for a while. So cool.

I am very, very jealous of you diving with Turtles. The place we were in Greece was a Turtle Nature Reserve and we went everywhere looking for Turtles and didn't see any, just saw lots of nests on the beach. By the way, when you are diving, don't worry about the sharks or stingrays. It's the trigger fish that you have to look out for, that's what bit me. Sounds like you are having an amazing time. Can't wait to come and visit. Miss you loads, Sarah xxx
