Magnetic island & Airlie beach
Well the bus from Cairns to Townsville was fine, 7.30 we left an arrived in Townsville round 1pm. Our driver was hilarious, he pretty much recited the menu available at the service station an told us how to order an pay....follow the signs! Our ferry across to magnetic island was good, only took round 20mins or so. We stayed in Base. It was packed the first night but a bit quieter the second. The rooms were ok, 6 bed dorms so we couldn't complain. We also got free brekki an dinner on day which was a bonus!
When we arrived we had a few jugs of beer by the beach. It was beautiful there! We didn't really do much the whole time we were there to be fair. We chilled on the beach, went for a swim, drank beer...the usual! We wanted to go snorkelling but the visibility was awful so we decided against it.
We travelled to Airlie beach the next afternoon and were due in round 5:30. An hour into the trip, the A/C went off an we had to stop an change coaches. Ideal having a 2 hour break down in 30degree heat!! We managed to get checked in round 7.45 so we weren't too much later.
So our first night in Airlie beach consisted of beer goon an more beer! We had 5 Danish lads in our room who just constantly talked so we decided to go for a drink! We met up with a guy we shared a room with on magnetic island for a while which was good. The bars in Airlie are pretty cheap compared to all the other places!
Today we went down to the lagoon to see what all the fuss was about. It was beautiful!! It's more of a pool near the harbour but it's lovely. We stayed there pretty much all day an sunbathed.
Going to have an early night tonight because we leave for the Whitsundays tomorrow morning....can't wait!
Love you all xxxx
