Townsville Day 2

Awoke to find we were almost right on top of a great beach. Walked along and Midget had a ball (as usual) playing with other dogs and fishing.

Today we started looking around the shops for a replacement GPS. It appears our old one just died. It was such a saviour for our trip around Europe last year, we were really upset. Steve opened it up and it was corroded in parts inside. So we decided to get the same one, as we still have our maps for Europe. If anyone out there is planning a trip to Europe and they want to take a GPS with them (they are so incredibly handy not just for driving) we’re more than happy to lend anyone our Europe maps.

Anyway we took it easy, then headed out a little north of the city and found a beach and checked out the kayaking route to Magnetic Island. We were planning to kayak over there from the closest land mass to it, but the wind wasn’t letting up and it wouldn’t have been much fun. There were whitecaps across the bay and we’d have been soaked, so we gave it a miss.
