Whitsunday islands
This frog liked our toilet at our Airlie Beach bed and breakfast!
He was back the next morning, even after we put him out in the backyard!
Pics from our cabin on the tall ship, where we spent 3 days and 2 nights doing a figure-8 around some of the islands, snorkeling and hanging out at the beaches.
bathroom/shower in one.
our skipper didn't know our cabin was right under him!
"stinger suits" - to protect you from jelly fish. not attractive.
green ant nest - they tast like lemon-lime! traditionally, australian aboriginal people ate these - also good for a cold.
whitehaven beach
whitehaven's sand is something like 90% silica - it squeaks under your feet!
these guys were on another boat, but we constantly saw them working out on their vacation!
enjoying the sunset
little fish
big maori wrass
you can use this to look at fish from the dinghy if you are too lazy to swim
had a quick and rocky ride on our last day - the wind picked up a lot and the boat was hanging to the right most of the way home.
tired on the ferry ride back to airlie beach
noodles in sydney, and trying to figure out how to text your boyfriend using an aussie cell phone.
gelato everywhere!!
this is sydney's "alcatraz" island. looks like someone is escaping!
Marita and I did the bridge climb, like these people.

STEEP train ride in the blue mountains - a 2 hour trip outside of sydney
