Fitzroy Island

Today we went to Fitzroy Island. The ferry ride over there was about 45 minutes, we started to get splashed by the water so we moved down into the boat. When we got to the island the clouds were rolling in, and it was very windy and cold. We decided to go kayaking, the waves were making our kayak nearly flip over, it was rather scary. The wind made it seem like we were in a hurricane, so we decided to head back to shore. We made it back just in time because once we got back on land it started to down pour. We then decided to take a walk to Nudey beach, we got to observe all the beautiful coral on the beaches. It hurt our feet after a while, it was worth it though when the sun came out. I actually got color today, it was nice. I got the chance to see a sting ray, not a big one but he was close to shore, it was really cool. Overall it was a great day, i just wish the weather was a little bit better. We did not get to do our sea kayaking tour because of the weather and the winds, that threw off most of our plans for the day, however, hanging out on the island was very fun. We did not get a chance to see little Fitzroy island. There were other trails that we could have gone on that would have led up to the summit, and to the light house. It was nice to get away and enjoy the island. Were heading off to Alice Springs tomorrow and i cant wait!!
