Catching the 'Greyhound' Bus for the first time, we decided to take the short two hour journey to Mission Beach where we stayed at a hostel called Absolute Backpackers. The absolute part was probably the absolute joke that they pick you up from the greyhound stop only to drive you 50 yards down the road to the hostel. Pointless in my eyes!
We spent one night here in a double room (a treat after our last debacle) and even though there wasn't much going on here, we did spend some time exploring the area, strolling the beach and even falling asleep with the sand between our toes. Waking up beside a coconut thirty minutes later and with all our belongings beside us we walked back along the beach and into town via a few shops before settling down for yet another Australian BBQ and a lounge by the pool. Nowhere near as good as the Tropic Days BBQ but still pleasant to say the least. A quiet evening followed, one with NO alcohol at all (a first) and after a few conversations with travellers we decided an early night was in order.
That was that in Mission Beach.
