Flights

Yesterday we spent the day in Surfer's Paradise on the beach and I learned to surf!! We went to Hervey Bay for the night and woke up this morning to fly to Lady Elliot Island!! It was beautiful and I got to sit in the co-pilots seat. I saw some whales and dolphin as we flew in over the island. It is a coral cay and that is what protects it from the harsh breakers. The sand is white but made up of coral pieces, the island is only about 3km around so you can easily walk the length of it in about 15 minutes. We had the entire thing to ourselves, besides the staff. It was honestly a little piece of paradise. We layed out on the beach then went in for some lectures about the species of fish and other animals that live on the reef. We watched the sunset, played volleyball, looked at the stars and got some rest!
