Last Saturday I went to Magnetic Island with some friends. The main reason we went there was for the full moon party, which occurs every month on the night of the full moon. But, I also really wanted to see the island of course as well. Since I do not have classes on Friday, my friend Megan and I decided to head there early in the afternoon to explore for the day! It is around a 20 minute ferry ride to the island from the strand, so not too bad. It was gorgeous there and we got lucky with the weather, and had a beautiful day. We got there and took a bus over to a different side of the island and got lunch at this cute little place. Then laid out on the beach and napped for a while. We obviously did not want to bring much stuff with us since we would be there for the party later, and not bringing towels seemed like an alright idea at the time, butt after laying out in the sand, I do wish we had thought about that choice more haha. Then we went for a swim, dried off, and I really wanted to go on one of the hiking trails on the island. Sooo.. there was one in the book that said it was about a 45 minute hike, and took you through to two other bays around the island, then it said it had a trail leading back to the main road. BUT, what they failed to mention, was that the “leading back to the main road” part, was the never ending, up and down hill road of death. Got to the end finally, and it had a big road closed sign in front of it..lovely, then waited a hour for the bus ha. The party was not that great at all. They make it sound like the most amazing thing, some huge party on the beach on an island. What you do not know, is that all the drinks are incredibly expensive, and on top of the $20 you already paid for a ticket for this party, it is a rip off… I am so glad I went to the island early and got to spend the day there so I did not waste my ferry ticket!
It is a nice island and I think my mom and I will go there when she comes! (12 days!!!)
Here are some pictures from the island:
