Road Trip Day 37: Airlie Beach to Townsville

Day 35, May 21, 2018 Shockingly, sleeping on a plastic mattress bunk bed tucked in the bow shared with another person is not the recipe for restful sleep. I kept trying to stretch out my legs but hit the metal wall of the galley. The cool part though was that our beds were under the … Continue reading The Whitsundays Sailing Trip, Day Two

Road Trip Day 33: Rockhampton to Airlie Beach – The Longest Ride

Rockhampton to Airlie Beach May 19, 2018 Of course, the night before the longest day of riding, I slept horribly. The old grungy man in our room not only continued to burp in his sleep, but also farted uncontrollably and hacked up phlegm every half hour. Then, the guy in the bunk next to mine … Continue reading Road Trip Day 33: Rockhampton to Airlie Beach – The Longest Ride

Day 22: Rainbow Beach to 1770 and Agnes Water I woke up to the loud voice of a proper Aussie named Nate corralling the newest tour group at 6:30am.
