Week 11

Whitsundays and Airlie Beach

I took a plane to this deserted one lane airstrip called Proserpine. We then took a cab to Airlie Beach. We walked around and got some food and drinks. The next morning we went to the Marina and boarded a boat called Powerplay. We were off toward the Whitsunday Islands. We stopped two times and snorkeled along the Great Barrier Reef. It was beautiful. I took an underwater camera and got some real good shots. Beautiful colored reef and heaps of different kinds of fish. There is one fish that was the size of a pre-teen human. For real. So huge. It would come right up to you and let you pet it. I was feeding it and it slurped up my entire hand in its mouth. So cool! It is the only male of its species in this bay, as there is only one male in each of the bays. When it dies or moves on, a female from the bay morphs into a male and grows 20X its size and then takes over. So bizarre. The food on the boat was real tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed it. At night everyone was really tired but I made some random people stay up with me. People on the boat were from all over the world: England, Germany, Ireland, America, Australia. It was cool.

We went to the second best beach in the entire world, White Haven Beach. It's sand has never been sold except one time, to make the Hubble Telescope. It was the softest and whitest sand I have ever seen or experience in my life. Truly beautiful. You may be wondering what the best beach in the world is then. Well, I will tell you. It is a PRIVATE beach in Mexico, therefore you can't even go to it! So go to White Haven because it's the best beach you will ever actually see. We saw tons of sting rays just chillin' here. They were laying on the sand and I started chasing them around. We also saw a pod of porpoises or dolphins on the way here. It was cool. We couldn't tell which they were. I got real tan and had a good trip.
