Got a lazier start to the day today, after two days of 6:15 get-ups. We had a bit of breakfast (toast and left over pizza from last night) and then headed down to the beach...actually Arlie Beach doesn't have a beach that you can use...again because of the jellyfish. They have built a lagoon for swimming....beachlike walk in to the water, a combination of grassy areas and sandy areas. We took a walk along to board walk to get a cache, but you needed to climb to and with flipflops/thongs (they still call them thongs here) on our feet and still a over a week of holidays left these two over 55 year olds didn't atempt the climb. Then back to the lagoon to sit with our legs in the water watching all the Airlie Beach partiers waking up and coming down to sober up with a quick swim! Then continued our walk stopping in stores, browsing and buying (Pam bought an opal necklace to match the loose opals she bought in Adelaide for earrings)
We came back up the hill to sit beside the pool at our hotel (Airlie Apartments) because we have the afternoon to fill in until the bus comes to pick us up at 5 to take us to the airport for our flight to Brisbane tonight. It's warm and breezy with rain shower coming and going.....it's so nice to be in summertime! (I heard it was very very cold at home!!!)
