Not much else to...David! Why, there's drinking grog, climbing the lighthouse tree, diving for pearls, fishing for shark, meeting Man Friday, surviving the storm and waiting for the rescue party, repainting the leading lights, swimming round the island, plotting the attack on Captain Flint... not much else to do indeed.
But what do you do after lunch..?
Clean the pemmican off the frying pan and the scrambled eggs off the saucepan. That'll take you to teatime.

Bit late for a spoiler warning now, but:

Hmm. I don't think Snape has turned. I think JKR's doing the same as she did with Sirius Black originally. Viewed from one side the events look like he's badder than bad but viewed from another ... My theory is that Snape promised Dumbledore to kill him rather than let him be subject to an Imperius Curse. Snape could make the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa because he was only promising what he had already promised Dumbledore, and at the end Dumbeldore was pleading with Snape to kill him, not pleading for mercy.
That's my theory anyways ...
I don't agree with you, but I have to say Someone Else in this household does, and we have debated it at length. I agree that it would be a Rowlingesque narrative device, but I think that one is a step too far.
We've been told so many times that Dumbledore is a wise man whose judgement should be respected (except when the plot demands otherwise), and that although Snape appears obviously dodgy to lots of people Dumbledore trusts him, that having had Snape simply fooling Dumbledore all along just by pretending to have reformed would be appallingly bad writing.
Oeyangen, at the northern edge of Nordmarka. Ideally you head to Ringkollen. go through the car park without turning up to the ski station, and carry on to the end of the road. Then take your canoe and paddle the 1km or so along the lake.
I should have pointed out that there is about room for two or three small tents on the Island and not much else to do.
A quick gander at Google Earth revealas that it is the one Island covered by cloud ;-( but it is at
60 9' 48.54 N 10 26' 31.53" E if you really want to see what a cloud over a lake looks like.

Aha. I was on my over to Google Earth but you've saved me the trouble. Multimap doesn't have a photo of it either. So I'll just have to go there, in my canoe-bicycle (yes I've got the bookmark). Thanks for the info.

Let me know when you are going and I'll send you a map.
