Tropical Cairns, Queensland



Flew to Cairns last Saturday, heard it had been raining heavily.. the reports were correct. Lovely place but very wet. Apparently we'd just missed the sunshine and it was their rainy season! Still warm but wet. Went out on a trip to the Great Barrier Reef on Monday. I won't lie, it wasn't my favourite trip. The sea was choppy and people were sea sick (myself included). Tried to dive but the sea was so rough I didn't feel confident to go underwater. Snorkelled near the boat instead, saw a few cool fish. Fed some leftover muffins, they came right out the water to bite them!

On Tuesday Helen, Laura & I went to Port Douglas for the day. Lovely place, went shopping, had lunch and walked down to the windswept beach - just like being at home!

Girls went rafting on Wednesday, I went for a swim in the Lagoon instead. Need to wear the moonboot for another 3 weeks, roll on the day I can say farewell to it once and for all!
