We arrived Sunday, and lounged/recovered from jet lag until Monday. Tuesday we went out snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Siena and I had the chance to do a really cool underwater submersible helmet experience. You basically have a bucket on your head, with a tube up to the surface and you can breathe and look out through the helmet without getting your hair or face wet. We stood on a metal staircase and watched fish swim around our heads. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever done.
The weather was a little iffy and there were quite a lot of people, but we still managed to see some incredible coral and fish.
Wednesday and Thursday were beach days. We went in the water without sunscreen for maybe half and hour, and both got so burned it hurt to put a shirt on. Luckily they healed, but it was still pretty painful. While we were burning we got some cool pictures though......
The sign says crocodiles may be present in these waters.
That last wave caught me by surprise.
