Magnetic Island

Me and my sister, Kathryn - First time scootering!!!!

First time Jet Skiing! - The beach (and girls) at Horseshoe Bay

The walk at Airlie Beach - Airlie Beach


So I spent Monday night and all Tuesday on Magnetic Island with my sister, Kathryn. She works at this backpackers resort that's right on the beach with the most stunning view! We rented scooters for the first time and I swear I didn't think we were going to make it one hundred metres. Kathryn couldn't start hers and I couldn't turn. But we finally figured it out and Made our way to the other side of the island... at a crawling 15 km/h! Yeah, the cars behind us were not so happy but whatever, it's a fuckin island man! If you need to be somewhere quickly you're missing the whole point! We got there, eventually, and bought Kathryn new sandals, appearantly not getting paid means you can't buy $10 flip-flops! After a couple hours of sunbaking I hired a jetski and went jetskiing for the first time! MY NEWFOUND LOVE!!!! The thrill of going 90 km/h over water is AWESOME! I was doing tight figure 8's, jumping over my own wake.... everything! So much fun! though my back took a beating and It's still sore 3 days later! I feel like an old man! We ended up being so tired we all passed out back at her place with her roommate before we had the chance to go out drinking. Oh Well, one night off drinking won't CURE my liver!!!

I'm in Airlie Beach now! So Beautiful! I'm going sailing for the next 4 days, which should be AMAZING!!!... oh and appearantly the german backpackers portion of my adventure is over and the American portion has begun. The last two nights I've had two different sets of Uni students in my room! Lots of fun!
