Back to Magnetic Island, and the 25th of August. Following my trek to Rocky Beach et al., I booked my trip to the Yongala (following winding up on the waiting list, a trip to Nelly Bay proper to get glue for my glasses and mute, only to return find I'm now booked to go, and lose my sunny's in the excitement), hung out on the beach, and
got to know my bunkmate Philip from Germany, who was travelling with a bunch of guys from Holland who he met on a scuba course in Cairns. Soon, we happened to be joined on the patio by Joon from Korea via San Diego and Diana from Switzerland, also from Philip's dive course and just happened to come through to the hostel (X Base).
What turned out to be a late night turned into an early morning, as I was heading out to the Yongala, which I've already described. More soon, getting kicked out.
