Lady Elliot Island!

[kazzaqld]

Gareth and I are going here

http://www.ladyelliot.com.au/

for 4 nights in January!

Swimming, snorkelling, turtle watching:surfer:, it's going to be amazing!

[foreverducky]

Wow, that looks so beautiful. I hope you take plenty of pictures.

[lisaw]

Looks stunning! :yes:

[kazzaqld]

Now that I know we are definitely going, I am allowing myself to get excited.

I'm not really much of an outdoors person but I do love swimming, and I'm looking forward to some of the "island exploring" type activities. Gareth wants to do the ghost tour!

And when I was browsing the site today I noticed the stargazing activities - Skywatcher, Watchinherskip - I will report back, weather permitting! :yes:

[foreverducky]

Sounds like there is more than just swimming to do. :D Oh, a ghost tour, now that's up my alley.

[Disneybumble]

Eagerly awaiting the confirmation email here - they do have availability so I'm sure it will be fine, but will be happy when it's confirmed! :thumbsup:

Will definitely take lots of photos and might even post them here (I still haven't done my Japan ones.... :sorry: )

[kazzaqld]

Confirmation just came through - woohoo! :bounce:

(just realised I should have posted this thread in Non-Disney trips and travels so if anyone wants to move it, feel free! :sorry: )

[kazzaqld]

Well it's almost here - taxi will be collecting us at 6am tomorrow morning, :airplane: the surf shoes, flippers and boogie boards are packed! :surfer:No mobile phone access for 4 days - so work can't call! :thumbsup: The four-day forecast is pretty good - only rain on Saturday but otherwise fine! :sunshades:

I am excited - I hope it lives up to the hype! :yes: One more sleep! :dream:

[foreverducky]

Don't you just love it when you have one more sleep. :D I hope to see pictures of this trip, especially given that I have -35 windchills.

Safe journey and enjoy every minute of your stay!!! I hope you are able to get loads of photos of the turtles. :yes: I just LOVE turtles. :D :D

Take care now! We'll miss you here, but will be happy knowing you are having a wonderful time! :yes: :9:

[kazzaqld]

Quick check-in - we are home, but I need to go make dinner right now!

Photos are downloading off the cards so watch this space and I will try and hop on before I head to bed!

Awesome trip - really really enjoyed it - I appear to have lost weight with all the snorkelling so that's a bonus! :yes:

Can't wait to tell you all about it and show you the pics!

[foreverducky]

Oh yes! I will wait here....patiently....maybe. :D

OK to start you off here's a bucket of turtle hatchlings! We saw some of these emerge; some were collected by the staff.

Next photos will be of them hatching, being released to the ocean (through Gareth's legs!) and more.

I promise to post more this afternoon - I am supposed to be getting ready for work now! Maybe I should have organised an extra day just to do trip report and photos!
:yes:

[Britchick]

oh wow Kazza, that is amazing!

[Tink]

Oh! Aren't they the cutest? I just love turtle hatchlings! Thank you!!! :yes:

[kazzaqld]

Still dragging my feet - but here's some more photos! Dory in the wild! A manta ray I swam right over the top of, a turtle nesting - there's a great story with that one! And a turtle hatching!

[Johnie]

Awesome pics Karen!!
