Hamilton Island, The GRRREEEAAATT Barrier Reef

Yes, you got it right... More photos to come after a whole week of procrastination... I'm back at work now, as a second year resident, otherwise known as Hospital Medical Officer. So yeah, it's not like I've been bumming around with nothing to do, and not updating my blog. 

Since I'm on my day off today, I've decided to update this... almost dying blog with more photos from our recent Hamilton Island trip. 

The gorgeous view from our hotel room...

Dining by the pool, yet again... The salt and pepper squid that Jon had was really yummy!! :D 

Bad photo of Mei... But just to illustrate that we were indeed by the poolside... Enjoying our yummy lunch! ;) MmMmMmM...

My "Hamilton" burger... with chips. It was quite nice, but I don't think it was worth 20 AUD!! Oh, if I haven't mentioned, everything in Hamilton Island is expensive! Everything is double the price... except for transportation, which is free of charge! 

Headed to the beach in the evening, when the tide was low... We were trying to walk to the nearest island, which during the day, seems miles away when you're on the kayak, or sailing on the catamaran... 

But when the tide is low, you can almost "walk over" to the island... tee hee hee. 

Even saw this cute little snail, and some small crabs on the sand...

Buggies, buggies, and more buggies everywhere!!!

Just chilling, really... With nothing much to do every day. We just sorta took things slow, relaxed.

Just us...

Jon being Jon, suggested that we went to play minigolf. Yes, I don't think he can survive without golf. hehehehe...

There was this "minigolf by moonlight" competition...

And guess who won it?! Apparently, Jon had the best score that the guy has seen in a longg time! And he won himself a jet ski ride! Woohoo!!!

After the game, we decided to relax and went for jacuzzi at night :) And then took a dip in the pool....

It's just amazing that the water was still warm at night. 

Some beautiful night shots of the beach 

And the pool from our room...

By the way, "Happy Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year / whatever you call it" everyone!! Hope you guys have lotsa angpows! Eat lotsa mandarines for me... and pineapple tarts, and... love letters... and lotsa other yummy food! 

Dinner at Jon's aunt's place tomorrow night... Gotta stuff myself silly with lotsa yummy home cooked dishes!
