For future reference, if you’re coming to Magnetic Island, 4 days is more then enough time here and we’ve been here for about a week.  I’m trying to remember what I’ve done the last few days, but that’s why I keep a blog, so quickly do I forget.

The moke was awesome.  We drove all over the island.  I had to let Ani drive cause it was too small for me to shift in.  I was more then happy to be a passenger, we got the little thing up to 100 km/hr!  We went tubing in Horseshoe Bay.  It’s where they tie two tubes on the back of the boat and then drag you behind and do all sorts of turns, causing you to fly back and forth behind and along side the boat.  I know can do this in Austin, but there’s so much more room here and it was cheap.  Ani didn’t want to do it, but I convicned her and she loved it.  See, I’m always right.    It was quite possibly, the funnest thing I’ve done here.

On Tuesday morning, we rented a kayak and kayaked out of the bay for 3 hours, going as far as Maude bay and stopping at Lovers bay to chill for a bit before beginning the long paddle back.  It was a hell of a work out. 

In the afternoon, we took a painting class which was actually a lot of fun.  We’ve both painted before but never took a painting class.  Our teacher was really good and taught us the basics about primary colors and using a base color, in this case purple, to block out your subject first.  We both did different dolphin paintings and they turned out great.

Today, we just laid out on the beach and read our books, leaving tomorrow for Darwin!
