airlie beach
After one sweaty night of yokels, biteys, snakes and scary big women in Claireview, we decided we needed some resort action. To Airlie Beach!
One night on Airlie Beach and two nights on Daydream Island at bargain prices gives us all the showers and luxury we need for the next couple of weeks, or at least until we see Shell and Dan on Friday.
 |
Airlie Beach from our b&b. You can't actually swim in Airlie Beach because of the very nasty jellyfish. They have vinegar bottles stationed around the beach, which they had to dye blue (the vinegar, not the bottles) because the locals kept using it to put on their fish and chips. |
| Our little room. One night in this and we were lulling in luxury. Claw footed bath! mmmm mmmm. A bed you didn't have to blow up yourself! mmmm, hot croissants, breakfast in bed. Yeah baby. |
 |
 |
The same view of Airlie the next morning, with the storms coming in (about an hour before we got on the ferry to Daydream Island). |
| Those bears know how to have a good time. |

Mandy loves a good game of strip poker. |

Rusty looking forward to a holiday while we are on Daydream Island. |

Neil learnt to scuba dive. The day after this he went to Whitehaven beach and the Great Barrier Reef and saw giant clams, gropers, spring sea anemone and lots more. |
| "...and Rosa said, 'my daddy don't treat me like this! If my daddy don't treat me like this then YOU don't treat me like this!' I say go girl!" |

Mandy going for a Daydream Delight Spa, Riss going for a Sublime Tan, lash tint, relaxation facial and foot massage. Camping has never been so good. |
| Feeling somewhat exposed, Mandy and Riss get their photo taken. Not happy Jan. |

Neil after a hard day of scuba diving relaxing with Lara Croft.. |
| Fraser held a cocktail course - for $15 you get about and hour and a half of learnin' and drinkin'. Mandy was done over with a Rocky Mountain Bear Fucker (Wild Turkey, Chartreuse, Vodka). Best $15 spent on the island. |
 |
 |
Obligatory pool bar photo. Riss outordered Neil and Mandy with a Mango Fandango. |
| "To ... cocktails!" |
 |
 |
Bizarro world. |
| Looking determined on the way to the gym. |
 |
 |
"How long do we have to spend in here to work off the buffet?" |
| What the pool table looks to Mandy after a Rocky Mountain Bear Fucker. |

Mandy arrests Neil for looking stupid. |
