Oops... We missed the Ferry

Today we were supposed to go to Magnetic Island. However, the bus took 15 minutes longer than it should have to get from campus to the main bus stop. This only gave us 5 minutes to walk to the ferry which was not enough. However, we ended up going to The Strand.

The Strand is the beach area along the coast in Townsville. The Strand has gardens, fountains, a water play area (The Bucket), the Rock Pool, another pool, and more. We ended up spending most of the day at The Bucket. The bucket is a water play area that features a bucket on top that fills with water and tips over every minute (I timed it). It was a lot of fun. After playing in the water, Theresa and I both baked in the sun.

That night, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the common area by 9:00pm. Oh well.

How I almost died today:
1. Sunburn
2. Drowning from the huge amount of water the bucket dumps every minute.
