A wet start






The Whitsunday Islands are absoutly beautiful as you will see shortly - however the first day it rained - just our luck ( thoughit's been pure sunshine ever since). We decided to spend the day on South Molle a resort island with Noel & Catherine who were over with us from Auckland , The plan was to walk across the island and back - only a few km in bush but we ended up in a tropical downpour for most of that time and were soaked tio the skin, Fortunately I had my trusty Macpac day pack whgich kept the cameras dry - but I was scared to even take them out of the bag.... the day ended back at the resort with a laundry party, We stripped off put $3 and most of our clothes in the dryer and waited 45 minutes,,,, fortunately I had a larg sunumbrella to hide behind at the right moment - a few tourists came into the laundry and had obviously never seen a kiwi laundry party before - so went away bemnused,,,, Catherine was not all that impressed when her jacket came out several sizes too small - but the 3 of us and the penguin finally spent some time at the bar a little dryer begore the ferry arrived, !
