Stradbroke Island Trip

|

ca. 05:00: I creep into my bed.
07:25: Ups, the bus drives in a minute, I'm still in the bed.
Yeah you guess it - I missed the bus.
It's getting really close. I have to be at the meeting-point at 08:00.
Just enough time for the taxi to drive to my home and into the city.
And I can't even ring them, because there is no money left on my pre-paid card.
But in the end I get there nearly on time, and the trip starts.

We are about 20 people and drive in a small bus to the ferry for Stradbroke island.
As usual the people on the trip are from different language schools.
After a 30 minute ride by ferry we are on the island.
We go to the sea-beach where I go swimming.
The waves always pull you back to the beach. It's hard to get into a bit deeper water.
No wonder there are many surfers. It's interesting to watch them.
Later we try to surf down a sand dune, but today the sand is too wet.

After lunch we go for a walk on the coast. The views from the cliffs are really spectacular.

The last stop is on a lake.
Some people go for a short swim - I for myself have enough for today - it's already getting dark.
