If you're going to eat sand...

You should definitely make sure it is Whitehaven Sand! The stuff is delish :-).

Mum says she is going to mix in some of her special herbs for me...just to add a little colour

Whitehaven Weekend

We got up bright and early this morning and with the northerly wind pretty much gone, we left Chance Bay and headed back around to Whitehaven Beach.

It was a simply beautiful day. Bright blue sky, clear sea, lovely and warm...the perfect day to spend playing on Whitehaven beach...so we did!

Even Eric got in on the action...and prepared for his first swim in the crystal clear water.

He wasn't overly impressed at first, and Nick had to convince him that he really was having fun.

Again, extraordinary colours! That's Lucey Blue behind Nick.

The first-class passenger's private beach lodgings!

We think we'll hang out here again tomorrow. It's really hard to take...NOT! ;-).

WOW Whitehaven

We have stopped at Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island a couple of times now. The first time we stopped it was cold, windy and foggy and I was thinking 'PFftttttt! What's all the fuss about?'.

But we went back for another visit about two weeks ago with my mum. It was a warm, sunny day and after a quick trip ashore with the kids I could see and feel what all the fuss was about!

The colours really are astonishing, and the sand...I couldn't help scrunching my toes and fingers in it repeatedly, it was amazingly soft!

The kids ran about and dug roads in the sand, while mum and I just kicked back and soaked it all up. It was beautiful. I am really looking forward to visiting again.
