The Tropics!

Next morning by train, back to Sydney again,

for step three and on to a plane.

A flight to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef

is almost something beyond our belief.

Sue goes snorkelling with fish in the sea, 

a helicopter flight Is the thing for me.

Fantastic trip not one to miss

to see living coral and aquarium fish.

A sub aqua trip was done as well

with sights that my words cannot tell,

turtles and fish, coral and squid

definitatley worth that few extra quid.

We survived our couple of days in the tropics, the temperature was only in the mid 30's but with high humidity it felt much hotter. It was certainly difficult walking around, and all we felt like eating was lettuce! Although we did eat curry one night, how did 

that happen? 

The trip to the Barrier Reef was spectacular, but so difficult to photograph, would need a snazzy underwater camera which we didn't have. 

I have to say, I was very proud of myself, it was my very first time snorkelling, I wasn't exactly adventurous, it took a while to actually get my head underwater! Added to the experience was wearing a very fetching "stinger suit" recommend as it was stinger season, fortunately I didn't see any box jelly fish!!!😳
