Free Day in the Whitsunday Islands!

After a fun night it was really nice to have a day off to relax. (As if we need to relax on vacation?) A group of us still woke up pretty early to reserve lounge chairs by the pool (rough life) and this was where we spent the majority or our day. The pool overlooked the ocean and it was pretty difficult to tell which one was clearer. We ordered lunch poolside and tanned the day away : ) So lucky, I know. Later on in the afternoon one of our tour guides came by and asked if we wanted to watch and help him feed some of the tropical ocean fish. We walked out to the edge of the peer and fed bread to all of the angel fish swimming by. After walking around the peer some more, we all decided that it would be fun to jump off of its edge. Were you supposed to jump off the peer into possibly infested shark water? Definitely not but I absolutely loved every second of it. I stepped up in the first group because many of the others were a little bit nervous to jump. On the count of three we jumped off and plunged into the water below. It was so thrilling and the water was absolutely beautiful. We quickly swam to the ladder and tried to climb out fast in an effort to avoid any shark attacks ; )

We returned to the pool and sun bathed a little more before taking showers and getting ready for the night. At dinner we were informed that there would be yet another themed party and we were instructed to pick up these outfits once we finished eating. Tonight's theme- Jungle Fever. The island provided us with a few white clothes, body paint and leaves from various trees. We raced back to our room to begin the costume design and to prepare for the rest of the nights adventures.
