What I'm Doing...

Hiking and Dancing and Scuba

Still here on Magnetic Island.  Yesterday, we rode bikes from Arcadia to Horseshoe which is about 6k over a really tall hill.  In fact, I had to walk my bike all the way up the hill, but then the way down was awesome!  We did a walk to the old fort grounds which defended the bay in which this island resides during World War II.  It made for some beautiful views of various bays. 

We continued on to Horseshoe Bay and got a late lunch at Noodies again, that place is sooo good.  We walked around for a bit and then rode all the way back to Arcadia to return the bikes before night fall.  We suddenly remembered there were dancing lessons at Noodies that night, so we hopped the bus again and rode back over there.  It was worth it, the lessons were a lot of fun, not my back and legs hurt from the biking, my arm hurts from throwing the ball and now my hips and thighs hurt from dancing so I’m feeling great!  :)

This morning, I got up early to go diving  just off the shore at a wreck called the Moltke which is over 100 years old.  It was pretty cool, but the visibility wasn’t that great, only about 3-4m.  And even though, my goggles kept filling it up, it was still fun.  Then, after we’d put all our gear back in the truck, my guide couldn’t get the truck started, so we had to walk back to the dive shop, it wasn’t far, like 500m, but I didn’t have any shoes on, so we climbed down the rocks to the water, and walked through it to the beach and up to the shop.  That was Pleasure Divers on Magnetic Island; nice people, but I wouldn’t say I’d recommend them.  Now we’re off to rent a Moke and perhaps go kayaking.
