Today was my one full day in Cairns, oh there is so much to do here, I guess I will have to come back! Since I had to choose something I decided to spend the day at the reef, we left Port Douglas this morning and journeyed to the Outer Great Barrier reef and specifically the Agincourt reef. Here we had a chance to snorkel, scuba, or stay dry and go on a semi-sub or helicopter ride. I chose to snorkel and tried scuba diving for the first time - I loved the scuba diving so much I went twice! I saw all kinds of fish, Trumpet fish, Clown fish (also known as Nemo), Maori Wrasse, Lion fish, Red bass, Angel fish, Giant clams, and a bunch of fish I can't name as well as all kinds of coral...all of which you will have to imagine or look up online because my camera is not waterproof! Here are a few photos of the day...
Leaving Port Douglas...
Arriving at the reef...
Snorkelling...
Arriving back safe and sound, but very tired and exhilarated...
Looks like you have had/having an amazing time. So pleased you tried the scuba - it's a different world isn't it. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, we start our journey back to the UK tomorrow.
