Day 9 – Airlie Beach

On August 14^th we traveled only 280km. Most of the day we stayed in Townsville trying to see the difference between the Outback and the beach paradise. Not that you need to try hard – the difference is obvious – just nice to wonder around beach summer houses, run along the beach, stair at bikinis (although not much to see there J)…

We climbed the hill with panoramic view of the Townsville. Oh, and totally forgot, that everything in the morning was empty! People in the hostel were probably resting after yesterday’s Mad Cow party, other half probably went for cruises to Magnetic Island. And it was hot!!! I can only imagine how hot it gets in summer…

The only disadvantage of this paradise – you can’t swim in the ocean because of jelly fish and stingers L Swimming pool and condition are your only treatments from summer heat…

Happy driving again… Tomorrow we are waiting for the other highlight of the trip – Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday region. Airlie beach is the place to start…
