Club Med and The Whitsundays

After 5 days in Airlie Beach with an exciting excursion out to the Great Barrier Reef, we headed out into the Whitsunday Islands for a stay at a Club Med Resort.  We love the all-inclusive vacations:  plenty of games and activities for Larry; lots of teens for Nicole; and a supply of beach chairs for me.  Club Med Lindeman Island did not disappoint.

From arrival to departure, we caught only glimpses of Nicole as she spent most of her time with the Teen Club.  Larry hiked the island paths.  They both tried their hands at the trapeze.  We sailed one morning and played bocce.  We taste tested the cocktails and mocktails of the day.  At night, we enjoyed the evening's entertainment, put on by the resort staff.  The best show was their take on Cirque du Soleil - truly amazing to see the tricks up close.

The Whitsunday Islands are gorgeous, stunning scenery.  There are 74 islands, only 8 are inhabited, and they are part of the Great Barrier Reef protected area.  If you get a chance to visit the area, be sure to choose an Island resort as your base to visit the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea.
