After our great day and night at Mission Beach it was time for me, Matt, Becky, Jo and Gemma to get the Greyhound bus down to Magnetic Island for 3 nights. We had to leave Chris and Cherrie behind as they were staying for a few more days and meeting us at Magnetic Island on our last day.. We are all going to meet back up with them in Brisbane. We said our goodbyes and jumped on the mini bus down to the bus station where the Greyhound was picking us up from. Our bus was due at 3.10pm and when it turned up we all jumped on and for some reason we had to sit in certain seats so the girls were up the back and we were nearer the front. We wanted to get there for 7pm as there is a ferry thats takes you across to Magnetic Island and if we missed it we would have to wait until 9pm.

When we arrived at Townsville (Magnetic Island Bus Station) it was about 7.15pm and we had missed the Ferry as the driver was 15 minutes late. Debbie and Rosa was at the station already going down to Airlie Beach as they had just done Magnetic Island the last couple of days. So we said our hello's and goodbyes and they shot off on the coach that we had just jumped off of. The buses run 3 times a day straight down to a destination down the East Coast with people jumping on and off at certain stops. Then Gemma's best mate Ally turned up from Melbourne and she will be spending a week with us. While waiting for the ferry we sat in a circle and had a game of Rummie again to kill a little bit of time. When the Ferry arrived we all jumped on threw our bags down as we had a 20 minute journey and all bought a beer and a chocolate bar which was a nice treat. After the Ferry we had a 15 minute bus ride to our Hostel, got our keys to our rooms, went in and got changed and straight back out for a good few drinks and a game of ring of fire (drinking game where every card you pick up means you have to drink or make a fool of yourself). Had a dance on the tables and then went down to this bar where the minibus would take you andit was awful, no one was hardly there so we just had a dance in the middle of this floor on our own. good times!

The next day me and Matt got up about 1pm as we needed to catch up on some sleep and the girls went to a Koala Sanctuary where you could hold them and see some crocs. They asked if we wanted to go but we said no as we had already seen all that stuff in Cairns but it did sound good when they told us what it was like when they returned. I just chilled by the pool for the day reading my book and Matt just chilled in the room watching Prison Break on the Laptop (we bought a hard drive from a shop and Owen transferred all he's films and TV programs across to it). So it got to about 6pm and the girls came back and cooked themselves Spagetti Bolognase while me and Matt used our free meal ticket we got, food was nice. Again after dinner went a got changed and had a few drinks at the bar playing some drinking games to get the drinking started.

The next day was our last day here and it was pouring with rain literally all day so not alot to do, so just chilled in our room or at the bar playing pool. Then Cherrie and Chris turned up for our last day, but they were staying here a few more days as there is a Full moon Party over the weekend which us and the girls are going to miss as we have got our Whit Sundays. So after they arrived and put there bags in we all met and had a chat, went and got some dinner from the local supermarket and cooked it in the kitchen, which was disgusting as there were ants and everything running around on the stoves. Chef Ramsey (me) cooked me, Chris and Matt Spagetti Bolognase and the girls cooked themselves Chilli. Then Chris had to rush off and meet he's lover that he had met in Cairns for the night, the girl changed her plans just to be with Chris, crazy! She was fit though. After we all got ready we all went and got jugs of beers and wine and played another game of ring of fire, after that we played heads and tails (where you have to pour a little bit of your drink in a cup and guess heads or tails, get it right you pass to the next person, get it wrong you have to neck it). Then Cherrie went to bed and after a couple more hours of playing drunk pool everyone went a bed and me and Matt sneaked into Cherrie's room and put a big rice cake on her so when she turned round in bed it would break and crumbs would be in her bed.

Then went to bed waking upto Cherrie in the morning getting her revenge by putting bacon on my nose and waking me up, funny stuff. Then me and Matty got the bus down to Airlie Beach ready for Whit Sundays on Saturday. The girls were heading down on the night bus so we would see them in the morning and get our drink and all go together to the party. Next stop Whit Sundays (Clipper)...
