Yesterday we took the trip to see the Great Barrier Reef. How awesome it was! We went scuba diving and snorkeling. We have some awesome pictures of Tom and I but they are on a CD so you will have to wait to see them. We saw giant clams that were a couple hundred years old, tons of crazy fish and amazing coral. Was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Cairns is an awesome little beach town. There is a lagoon/pool along side the water free for everyone.
Lots of restaurants and travel/tourists shops. The bars are ok, bars are the same everywhere, except here they are have 18 years olds. Tom and I played trivia one afternoon at one of the pubs. We thought we were going to win the $100 bar tab, team name being BaBaBaBonesaw of course. Guy announcing the winners, "in last place team Ba ba ba bonesaw." We did horrible. But it was fun. We had plans to go out but after a day in the sun and a couple pitchers we passed out or like 16 hours, waking up at 3am trying to go back to sleep.
Last night was good, got dinner after the reef, then had some pitchers at the only Irish bar in town. Yesterday was Anzac Day, kind of like our Veterans Day. So there were a lot of sailors in be bar, girls crawling all over them, was funny to watch.
Today we are leaving Cairns and going to the ranch. We are excited. Can't wait to be a cowboy again. And eat beef and be grizzly and dirty. I will try my best to blog while I am there but my sure about the Internet access. Otherwise I will see you again in 3 weeks.
Cheers,
Franke
