Day 9 Cairns Adventure

This morning we woke to another rainy day. It was a bit nippy out (as the natives call it) we are all in our shorts walking to the pier. The pier is where we boarded the boat that took us to Green Island/Great Barrier Reef. Before departing, we all took some motion sickness pills....well for Shilo and Kandi, it helped a little, we had to ride at the back and/or on the outside deck. There were other students that had a rough ride as well.

We finally made it to the Reef after stopping at Green Island for a briefing on things to do at the reef. Some chose scuba diving, snorkeling and scuba doo rides.

We ended our evening with the best meal of the trip.....a Brazilian BBQ! This was our farewell dinner with our tour guide, Graeme Mitchel whom was very helpful throughout our adventures in Australia. He actually flew with us to Brisbane and left us at the international airport to head to LA.

As we write this, we are in the air flying to the LA,we should be there in 13 short hours! What a long day ....we are celebrating our 27th anniversary in the air...how romantic!

Good day mate!
