Don't let the bedbugs bite


I would hardly say I LET them bite, but they did anyway. After spending a pretty cool day in Airlie beach, we boarded the Anaconda III to sail the Whitsunday Islands. It's a "luxury sailing yacht" at 101 feet long. Let me tell you this was the most miserable time I've had on this trip. I got eaten by bedbugs, queazy from the stench of the place, and we didn't even go out to the reef as planned. They forgot to bring food so we had to turn around and spent our second night in the harbor, yet still had to pay the reef tax. The whole lot of us declared mutany at that point and some people got off. Some people stayed on as it was midnight and raining with no chance of finding a place to stay, or money to pay for it. When we got back into port we formed an angry mob and went down to the booking agent in charge of this vessel and we all demanded a full refund. After much ado it was promised to us, in writing, in the next 7-14 days. I really hope it just shows up in my bank account without any further effort. On a different note, Airlie beach is beautiful and i may go back there to work if i dont find work in Cairns.
