Magnetic Island

We've just spent the past few days on Magnetic Island at BASE backpackers. Most beautiful hostel, right on th ebeach. Really lovely. Have done nothing, but laze around in the sun really. Well the boys hired 4x4's and we went trekking around the island in those which was a pant wetting, finger clutching experience at some points. Especially when Greavsey is literally driving on the edge of a cliff. This was really a drinking on the beach and having fun with good people experience as oppossed to anything else. I ended up in the ocean every night (of course) and then discovered that there's a 3.5 metre croc hanging about the place. We took the 4x4's and went to West Point on the Island so that we could see the sun set. When you do the East Coast you'll never see the sun set over water. Well we didn't get to see it here really because someone stuck a bunch of clouds in the way! Then we drove back to the East Coast and watched the moon over the water. Pretty cool. We were going to do kayaking and snorkelling, but the sea was to rough so we couldn't.

Not really a lot to say about Maggy other than that. Oh I got a bit burnt, as did Lauren. We had a row (as per) and I told her I want us to go our seperate ways at Byron Bay, we'll see about that when we get down there.

Other than that, I believe that's everything for this blog.
