Red Baron Taking OffAnother cracking day on Magnetic Island. Finto was up early to bask in the sun by the pool. Once the lads were up, we travelled to Horseshoe Bay on the North side of the island for some lunch and a swim in the sea.
Horseshoe Bay has a beautiful beach and is filled with activities such as jetskis, sailing boats and a sea-plane tour called the Red Baron. Fintan went over to enquire about the plane ride and the pilot had seen the CrazyJourney news reports on TV and offered him a free trip over to Townsville. Fintan jumped at the idea and next thing he knew, he was taking off from the water.
In the meantime, Dave and Rhys went for a swim in the netted area, where it’s ‘safe’ from killer jellyfish. Dave reluctantly agreed for a dip despite his irrational fear of water. Rhys took amusement in this by freaking Dave out claiming there was a jellyfish close behind him. Dave looked to the area where Rhys had pointed only to actually find a real killer jellyfish right beside him. Needless to say we’ve never seen Dave run so fast to the shore! Rhys mentioned this to the lifeguard but to our surprise the lifeguard said the nets only stop the big killer jellyfish, not all of them.
The Beautiful Base Backpackers on Magnetic IslandIn the evening, Base Backpackers hooked all residents up with a BBQ and the craic was had meeting and talking with travellers from all over the world! Fintan found a group of Irish travelers who were gobsmacked about the journey and encouraged him to email Ray D’Arcy (the popular Irish radio presenter) about it. Dave and Fintan went to bed early as they both needed to get up early for their trip to the Great Barrier Reef in the morning. Good Times!
