Holiday within a Holiday #2

Lady Musgrave Island- The southernmost point in the Great Barrier Reef- It was spectacular. The weather was fabulous and we were able to snorkel, scuba dive and swim with the fishes. The only hairy part was getting there, the seas were angry that day, folks. The waves were brutal and we were glad we took our motion sickness pills, well at least Duey and I did. We didn't think to give some to the kids and they, along with half the people on the boat, had a very bad time for the 1 1/2 hour trip out to the reef. Lots of barf bags being used that day. But once there, the lagoon was calm and it was wonderful. Lady Musgrave Island is tiny- just 400m by 700m and made entirely out of coral from the reef. Check it out:

Can you believe how blue the water is? I swear we are not in a swimming pool. It was a spur of the moment trip and one we are glad we took.

Hanging out in Paradise

Here we are hanging out on Hamilton Island and I am thinking to myself- I could stay here forever. This place is a tropical paradise, but alas, we must leave in two days to continue our holiday. Maybe I failed to mention, Hamilton Island is actually our "holiday within our holiday". I will post pics of our "plain holiday" later. Right now I will focus on our "holiday within the holiday".
We are currently staying on Hamilton Island- part of the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef. Stunning island resorts. We had booked a garden view room and I was regretting not requesting a coral sea view room, so much to my surprise, when we walked into our room at the hotel we were greeted with this:

Then the kids got comfy like this:

And Logan started swimming like this:

And I relaxed like this:

And we could see our hotel from the awesome pool with the swim up bar, like this:

And Chesney and Logan thanked me saying "this is the best holiday ever" like this:

And I have to agree.
