Airlie Beach - The Whitsunday Islands - Day #1 Wednesday

Lee and I  had an early Wednesday morning flight on  a plane that was a bit smaller than I would have liked - had a bit of a claustrophobic feeling sitting in the window seat. Luckily the nice young man in the aisle seat was happy to change.  The flight was good and we arrived in Proserpine about midday and then it was just a 30 minute bus trip into Airlie Beach.
Lee - on the bus - sight seeing lol


 We got dropped off at our apartment and were very pleasantly surprised with our unit.

We went through the booklets to see what excitement we could partake in while we were there. Lee has just had surgery so she was limited as to how energetic she could get but we rang up and booked a full day of Ocean Rafting. We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around Airlie Beach - as it's just a small seaside town and a tropical beach it didn't take long. Lee found the shops and we had a little shopping frenzy and then ended up in a touristy place where you could book fishing trips or boat rides or....sky diving. Not quite sure why but I booked the sky diving for the Friday.
This is the man made lagoon for swimming - October to May is out of the question for
 swimming in the ocean due to the Stingers





Stopped at the Down Under Bar for lunch and then  made our way back to our apartment and received a huge goodie basket from my sister for my birthday and made a meal of the abundant foods therein.
