Riding On My VISPA

PINK VISPA + RIDING = ISLAND EXPLORING

I love adventures and when I saw they were renting VISPA's at some local shop in the Magnetic Islands I was SOLD! Obviously I had to be careful (not that they go very fast anyway) but you never know.

VISPA's outside of the hostel.

I don't know if it was love at first sight, or the fact that this meant I didn't have to walk anymore.Magnetic Islands was made up of many hills that were not the easiest to walk up, especially in the heat! It made out lives very easy for the three days that we were there! However, obviously when you are travelling you worry about everything that could potentially go wrong... well at least I do!
I would be lying if I said that I was comfortable leaving the VISPA's outside of our hostels locked up "properly".

Magnetic Island

Here is a picture of me down by the water. The sky's as you can see were clear blue and beautiful. The water was warm, and crystal blue.
Here we stayed at the YHA Magnetic Island Hostel. If you are with a cabin living experience, cooking outside, and leaving your food in the outdoor kitchen, then this is the hostel for you. TIP: BRING EAR PLUGS, MONKEYS DO WAKE YOU UP AS THEY RUN THROUGH THE ROOF! 
Yes, believe it or not I was woken many time with the sound of monkeys running through the roof chasing each other. It was a little scary.

Magnetic Island has become established  as a holiday destination with many hotels and several resorts in operation to cater to all levels of service.
The name of the island came about because of the "apparent" magnetic effect it had on the ship's compass of Captain Cook as he past the island as sailing up to the east coast of Australia in 1770. Since then, people have sailed, visited, and traveled the island to discover what it was that appeared to Captain Cook as magnetic.
It is a beautiful island and worth checking out if you are ever in Australia. I would definitely recommend renting a VISPA as well!
