Cairns

I spent my last two nights in Cairns. This city is really fun and I wish I had more time there. Unfortunately, the trip to the Great Barrier reef I wanted to take was full. Instead, I went on a full day snorkel and sailing trip. It was really fun, but the section of the reef we saw was kind of dissappointing. The Great Barrier Reef is massive, consisting of many different islands. It would take weeks to get around all of it. Unfortunately I didn't have an underwater camera, but sometimes it is also nice to keep memories to myself. We saw some great fish and even a small 4 foot shark. The sailing part was great too. I am hooked on sailing. The next day, it was off to New Zealand. (Above is our boat, Ocean Free)
