From townsville we hoped on a ferry and headed to Magnetic Island. Its another tropical island with not that many people. A couple of hostels, a store, car rentals and a club. But its awesome. Lots of deserted beaches, crystal clear turquoise water with a mix of Colorado looking rocks on land. The best part about Magnetic island are the people and there culture. That's right, frog races! Whaaat. So at 8 p.m we all pre funked with some "goon" and headed to frog races. It consisted of a huge circle full of locals betting on toads to race. The main guy and frog lady would hold up different toads, let them run or hop around for a bit while people (us) betting on the toad. If you picked the right toad and he wins, you get a t-shirt and this radical pen.
The locals looked like huge, fat, Americans who never get off there couch until frog races. so those pictures were outta control. Everything else that happened that night couldn't compare to what we witnessed at magnetic island.
the next day we rented this car and drove around the island. I finally got to drive a 4 speed car on the left side of the road. Really hard to put together in my head, I drove a couple of times on the wrong side of the road. oh well, it was so fun. Okay gotta go, the Internet is running out. Go Maggy island and team America for keeping a good reputation for drinking and having fun.
