Seas and wind are predicted to be reasonably high over the next few days however we are protected and enjoying our time relaxing here on Hamilton Island. Plan was to depart on Sunday, but we extended twice with the Marina office and now plan to depart on Tuesday. We can't leave it any later if we are to ensure we make Mackay in time for Mummy, Nicholas and Jasmine to catch the bus back to Proserpine for the connecting flight back to Sydney. Daddy will travel then to Bundaberg alone where he will meet with his brother James to assist getting it back to Yamba/Iluka in NSW and then swap with Daddy's younger brother Mark to get it the rest of the way to Sydney.
We enjoyed our time on Hamilton Island, relaxing by the main pool, having dinner at the resturants one other night and having some take away fish, chips and burgers on another night by the harbour. Daddy, Nicholas and Jasmine also did some go-cart driving on the go-cart circuit. Daddy and Jasmine in a tandem go-cart and Nicholas by himself. Nicholas was extremely pleased that his fastest time was better than Daddy's. Daddy did point out that they had the same engines, Daddy was heavier, his cart was twice as heavy and his cart also held Jasmine... but to no avail. It was a lot of fun, so we did that twice. :)
By coincidence, one of Mummy's friends from when she worked at FAI and HIH in audit was visiting the island (for their first time) at exactly the same time and we were able to have a quick catch-up and share stories.
We also enjoyed a nice meal at the restaurant in the main office and sitting next to us were two of the trainers from the TV show "Biggest Loser".
The main building next to the main pool, also has a large chess board and table tennis tables. On the weekend, our friends from Airlie Beach were visiting, and Nicholas and Jasmine were able to catch-up, play chess, table tennis and swim.
Everynight we also enjoyed watching the remaining episodes of the "Flash" season 2 TV series.
