I'm On a Boat!

…or at least I was for the past few days. Morgan and I got into Cairns late two days ago, then had to be up early the next morning for our two-day tour onto the Great Barrier Reef which we just returned from. Unfortunately no pictures available yet, but I can tell you that it was incredibly incredible and absolutely worth the money. We got to snorkel at multiple reef sites, saw more incredible fish than I can describe (plus sharks and sea turtles, and giant clams that I could probably have fit inside), got treated like celebrities, got to sleep on a boat (soooo relaxing), and maybe best of all got to take two scuba dive lessons that were pricey but very, very cool – I can easily see how people get hooked on diving. And perhaps best of all, last night we got to watch Finding Nemo – on the Great Barrier Reef!


Now we’re back in Cairns and are going on a trip to the skyrail and Kuranda scenic railway – seeing the rainforest – before heading off to Adelaide. Very much looking forward to that. It is hot and humid here but also pouring down rain, which hopefully will let up a bit. Fruit bats everywhere.

That’s all for now. Take care back home.
