Once again we swathed ourselves in revealing royal blue lycra stinger suits and ventured into the Pacific Ocean. Told we had five hours of snorkel time in two different locations I thought the time on the boat might drag a little but there was so much to see in the water that the time http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Cairns/open-water/blog-458300.html Ich wei nicht ob ihrs richtig erkennen knnt auf dem Bild aber das ist die selbst gebastelte Weihnachtskarte von Miguel auch the Silver Fox genannt graue Haare usw... fr alle Mitarbeiter vom Caf Marina Der Gute hat eindeutig zuviel Zeit und ist absolut verrckt Hab selten so gelacht Mit der Berlin Wall und Frankfur Sausage bin brigens ich gemeint...

Diesmal gings zum ueren Great Barrier Reef wo das Korallenriff und die Rifffische wesentlich farbenprchtiger waren. Inkludiert waren neben Essen und Getrnken auch ein Tauchgang bzw. eine gefhrte Schnorcheltour sowie eine Fahrt mit dem Glassbodenboot Kosten 165 pp. Da es beim letzten Tauchausflug Probleme mit http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Cairns/open-water/blog-455712.html Unser erster Stopp in Cairns war im Visitor Center um eine Map und ein paar Information ber Touren zum Great Barrier Reef einzuholen. Einen gnstigen Campingplatz haben wir etwas auerhalb der Stadt ca. 10min mit dem Auto entdeckt. Die Stadt Cairns an sich war leider etwas enttuschend da sie auer der Nhe zum Great Barrier Reef nicht sehr viel zu bieten hatte. Cairns war im Jahre 1876 urspr http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Cairns/Cairns-City/blog-455676.html We have finally stopped driving long enough to up date you all to where we have been in almost 10000 kmsWe did a day trip to the reef saw lots of fishes but no turtles. The current was quite strong and had to swim hard to stay near the reef and not land on top of it. The boat rocked lots and we both felt a little relieved to get off at the end of the day When we were at Daintree we did a boa http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Bundaberg/blog-455191.html The East coast of Australia is probably best known for the Great Barrier Reef and it didnrsquot let us down. We managed to get Beccy booked on to the same Open Water Dive Course I did seven years ago which meant I was home alone for a couple of days whilst she was stuck in a classroom studying. Naturally I did the man thing nothing much although I did go fishing and caught a tiddler.
