Woke up at around 8.30 and me and my roommate ollie got the got ready to catch the 10am water taxi to dunk island. It's right on the beach like 5 minutes from our hostel so that was spot on but unfortunately the weather was really cloudy and sporadically kept spitting rain.

There were about 6 of us from The same hostel so we decided to stick Together as a group. We were given complimentary snorkel hire and told to bring our own lunch as there were no facilities on the island at all. The taxi took us over and it was a tiny little boat that was like a deathtrap the way it got knocked around by the waves so it got a bit hairy at times.

Dropped off at the beach and we were told not to go behind the beach and just follow the walking trails to the other beaches on the island because a main section of the island used to be a holiday resort but a cyclone ruined it last year so it looks like a ghost town and you can see the dmage its done to the houses with roofs hanging off and Walls fallen down.

We followed the trail to the top of the hill and the view was really good, you could see the other little islands next to dunk and also mission beach because it was so close. Followed the trail back down and went to muggy muggy beach where we were suppose to use our snorkels but there was literally nothing in the water so we didn't bother.

Went back to the original beach to wait for the water taxi back and while waiting I saw some washed up coconuts, since I've never smashed one open before I would give it a try, I found a big one with water in and proceeded to smash it but it looked old and when I started to get a hole in it the smell was horrific so we came to the conclusion it was mouldy. Shame.

After food and a few drinks me, Tom (another guy I knew from calypso would you believe it) a cocky Londoner, Reece his roommate who was turning to drink and partying as his wife he's travelling with is leaving him but the awkward fact they've booked everything together until airlie beach, and these two kiwi girls, decided to go to scottys beach house, the only night life in mission beach which is also a hostel. Had a few drinks in there and saw a massive brawl when it was closing time, dont know if it got everyone on edge but next thing we see is tom being cocky to a bunch of lads and they wanted to smack him, even the people trying to calm it down and help him were getting loads of his attitude and we all got sick of him so he went in the taxi back alone and we went down to the beach for a bonfire and it was so cool because the moon was nearly whole and the light was shining on the water while everybody was drinking round a bonfire. Proper backpacker stuff! Walked back with Reece and the kiwi girls, saw a load of wild wallabies bouncing all around the place then me and Reece stayed up drinking goon until about 4 then crashed and went to bed.

Ps that Tom guy told me just the other night that at calypso I guy checked in dressed as a jedi, had 2 lightsabers and was letting girls fight with eachother using them while he videos on his phone then was selling pills to people at the hostel and got arrested, good thing I got away from that crazy place!
