Bethany On Tour
I have now moved on again from Magnetic Island my insticts were correct I did not like it, the weather was rubbish so that was the start of bad things. My hostle was grotty. there were so many bugs and it was very quiet. I stayed there two nights. On my first day I went to Horse shoe bay and got rained on !!!! But was really tired so went to bed early that night. Next day I was up for a bit of investigating. I decided that I had not done nearly enough exercise while I have been away so would go on a walk. I did however think that I was going on a safe walk. In the guide it said that it was a common walk and that it was really well signposted. I can tell you it was neither. It also told me it was about 5km that was wrong too. But anyway I went on my walk. I should have turned back when I crossed a river and got drenched. but no Bethany carried on. So I encounted some rock Wallabies, a troop of ants no joke there must have been a milion of them, loads of lizards tons of butterflies and well the list could go on. But good old Bethany style I kept on walking. I then came to a Nudist beach but did not venture on to it. !!!!
I kept walking and walking. I had done about 4km by now.so I though I must be near the end, I got to a sign spray painted with " Beach this way" arrow. !!! But I was not suppost to be going to the beach I was suppost to be heading for the road. So I did not know quite what to do. I am pleased to say that I braved it I went through the undergrowth absoultly petrified that a snake was going to be near me (Lets face it the possibility was quite high) I was scared that I was going to step on one. many lizards ran over my feet. Anyway I went through the bush and eventually found a road. I then had to walk another 4km uphill to get to the road at least I thought I was safe from bugs.From nowhere and I mean literally from the sky. I felt something land on my foot. !!!! I looked down and there was a massive !!! and Yep I mean massive (about the size of a big mouse) bright green grasshopper/ cricket I have no I dea what it was and it did not stay around long enough for me to find out as I jumped about a meter. It was grose. I kicked it off my foot and carried on walking. I still did not know if I was going the right way as I had not met anybody.
I eventually got to the top of the road where I saw some people and got the bus back down the road. I checked out of my hostle and off the island the next day. I was heading for Mission Beach. The hostle that I stayed in here was fab. it was just like somepnes house and they made me apple pie and custard. The best part was that all the beds had disney bedcovers I was lucky enough to have 'Simba' from the lion king. I wish I could have stayed here longer but I had to go White Water Rafting.
I did this today and it was fantastic. So much fun. my boat was in some pretty precarious. (yes I know this is the bit when you all laugh at my spelling if you have not already passed out due to extensive vocabulary) situations but was so much fun I only fell out once and we were ment to. We did it in The Tulley River in Queenstown the area had been affected by cyclone Larry and there were trees down in lots of places aswell as buildings destroyed. So that was today I am now in Cairns and go to Cape Tribulation tomorrow for 3 days. Which should be fun so will update you all when I get back
Hope you all well
