And so the travelling begins

Last update I was getting ready to go rafting. Since then I have done some travelling so let me update. Rafting was AWESOME. We arrived in Mission Beach late Friday night and slept for a few hours. Macca (aka FRANK) picked us up in the bus and took us to Tully for rafting. Frank liked our American group so much he decided to be our guide. The rafting was an amazing time. I luckily did not fall out even though I was pused out on multiple occasions by Chad. Both Jenn and Todd fell in, once with Jenn being trapped under the raft. That was scary. So on this rafting trip they flip you on purpose. No worries mate, or so you think. The boat in front of us flipped completely over so it needed to be righted. Unfortunatley Ashley, Sara and I were under it when they flipped. Per the video you see Sara and Ashley's heads pop right out, yet you only see my arms flaining as I try to get air. A good time all in all however. We got back to our lovely accomodations of Scotty's Beachhouse for some dinner and rest. We did however find a stripper pole in the bar, and you know that the boys put it to good use. The next week went by fast and then it was our 4-day Easter break. We left early Friday morning for Airlie Beach. We got there and it was raining, as it continued to do all weekend long, but oh well. We did some shopping before dinner and then out to Mama Africas for some dancing. Saturday we had some free time but due to the rain it was boring. Once we got to the marina we boarded our sailing ship, the Broomstick. It was a cute little sailboat and I really had a good time that weekend. Once aboard we settled into our spacious accomodation (psych) and went snorkeling. The reef is such a gorgeous place and I still can't seem to get used to it. Saturday night was an early night and Sunday was an early wakeup. This Easter Sunday was by far the best ever. We sailed to Whitehaven beach early in the morning, which by the way was vote the best beach in the WORLD for 2008. The sand is 99% silica, making it a pure white color. The views from the lookout were amazing and the beach is even better up-close. Britt-britt and I took lots of photos and did some swimming. After lunch on the boat we went snorkeling agian, which was again, amazing. For sunset we went to a little island where we were the only ones. Our time was made better by a rain storm in which I did a happy little dance, yay me. After dinner however was when the real fun began. Goon sacks all around the ship made the night way more interesting. Not to mention our gorgeous crew man, dubbed Orlando by his amazing looks.We were real pirates after he went to other ships, stealing their goon sacks. Monday morning was some more sailing before heading into the marina. BBQ lunch and then back to JCU it was. A shower was nice, considereing there none on the boat, kinda gross I know. The next week sucked with papers being due and everything, but I survived. Uni club this week was amazing since Katee ventured out with us. Next up, Lecture reccess aka SPRING BREAK!
