Reports
During my travels, I received free accommodation for a night in exchange for writing a daily travel diary. This diary documented how I reached my next destination, the hosts who welcomed me, the food I was offered, and other experiences along the way. Below, you will find the archives of these extensive reports. Please note that English is not my native language, and most entries were written quickly, often around midnight. Enjoy!Monday, 20 May 2002
--> Magnetic Island, Australia
After a good night sleep in my own 'flat' down in the concrete Queenslander villa in Arthur Bay on Magnetic Island I had a lazy day on the beach (getting sun tan!) and at the end of the afternoon I went for a walk to the Forts. Enjoy those photos!
In the evening, Norm and Val had returned back to the island as they work at their own engineering company in Townsville. Their other daughter Kelly was staying here for the last night, as she and her little daughter Kylie were going to move to Canada (!) tomorrow. Tonight was their last dinner on the island...
Having a good time on the island! Off to the beach again!
