Singing in the rain

It's hard to get a tan when it's raining and it sure is raining. The last 2,5 days have been wet indeed.
Yesterday we tried our luck with the weather, and in all fairness, we came out ahead.
We packed our stuff and headed out fairly early to a place called Morten island, which is a beautiful sand island about an hour off the coast of Brisbane.
Upon arrival the weather cleared up a bit (no rain and glimpses of sunshine) and we went out snorkeling, a thing I had never done before.
Lo and behold, there were tons of fish of all colors and we even saw a turtle which the guide said, no one had seen for 6 months. The turtle was a big one as well, I reccon a little under a meter in length.

After ditching our wetsuits, it was time for lunch, some chilling on the beach and a swim without the wetsuit which made you feel light as a feather. Good stuff.
We then hopped on a bus and went to a place called the desert for some sandboarding.
It was fairly simple, a plastic board, lie on it a swoosh down a hill.
A very cool experience, but being from a land of snow and being a daredevil on the slopes as a kid, I would've liked a little more speed.
As we were finishing up the rain started POURING!! So we scurry onto the bus again, everything is wet, we've got sand everywhere and it's just a bizarre scene.
We get back to our point of origin, the beach and pop back into the water since it's warmer than the air.
Finally back on the boat, we switch into dry gear, have a feed and it's all gravy from there.

We arrive at the house a little bit cold actually, but thanks to the wonderful people of Santa Maria spices in Sweden, we make some Gluhwein(glogg) to heat up with. And to top it off, dinner consists of a nice Indian meal.
All in all, a very good day. Today though, will most likely be spent in a movie theater or a bar with a pool table.
Let it rain!
