10.8.15 - Cairns | Magnetic Islands




After the brutal diving, number 1 experience on the trip, we went out and ended up in a bar drinking beer and red wine, listenning a local band.This morning we got up early, but not as early as yesterday, and put out on the road.350 km separated us from paradise.Departing from Cairns towards south down the A1, a national road for all kinds of vehicles, crossing several cities. After several local universal heritage of humanity - natural parks and waterfalls - we see the Pacific on the left. A few miles after we come to a fishing town called Townsville.We wait two hours by a ferry that took us to the Magnetic Islands.During this time, a short walk from the harbor, saw Rotary. At the Coast Guard rescue boat was the symbol that characterizes and universalized us.Then it was a trip out to sea, where I fell asleep with the balence from waves. When I arrived: Wow !!! Pretty pretty pretty.A green island, full of vegetation and wild life. We cross the island from one side to the other, because our apartment is in Horseshoebay, across the harbor.When we arrived, a street and half a dozen houses, a narrow beach, the calm sea and a fantastic sunset.I swim, almost overnight, and the water was warm.From the beach, just crossing the street and had dinner: oysters, shrimp, santiaguinhos, squids; expensive but so expensive as a chicken breast and chickens are many in many countries!To end the night ... when we got to the apartment, I looked at the front desk and did not realize what he had seen: it was a small kangaroo or a giant cat. I asked the lady who was there and told me it was a Wallabi. I told her we were in Australia for several days and  hadn`t seen a kangaroo.
Easy, she said, "pick up the car, turn the first left and the second right Go to 5 km / hour because they are everywhere.".
