Magnetic Island...

Next stop in Queensland was the lovely Magnetic Island, I wanted to stop at Mission beach but due to the sad effects of the cyclone it would not have been a good idea. So our bus stopped at Townsville which looked like a town from an old western and we got onto a ferry to take us across to the island. The 3 girls I was now travelling with all stayed in the same hostel and didn't do much on the first day as we arrived quite late in the afternoon so just got some food and drinks played a few games at the bar. The next day we got up early and went to hire out a car for the day. This car was amazing, we loved it! It can only be described as a Barbie car, small, topless and pink, lots of pink. We spent the day driving around where we could going for walks and checking out the quiet beaches, one of which we were the only people there...lovely! That night it was a full moon so our hostel held a sort of mini full moon party with buckets and neon paint although was nothing compared to the real one I went to in Thailand but was still good fun. The next morning we felt we had done everything you could really do on this small island so spent the morning relaxing in hammocks by the beach, not a bad way to spend the day is it?!?
