Finally...The GREAT Barrier Reef!!!

Thursday was a big day for Cally and I. We went out on another boat for an entire day of diving and snorkelling. After the first three seconds in the water we both came up and just started giggling with eachother! The reef here was 10,000 times better than at Airlie [NO] Beach, so colourful and so many more fish (quantity and types!)...it is all I ever expected the reef to be. There was a huge fish (Napoleon Wrasse - search google images to see it's size), his name is Wally and he swam around with everyone and a photographer took pictures so Cally and I have pics with it! We also saw sharks, a scary eel, a big stingray, clams bigger than us and tons of colourful fish! It was awesome - we didn't leave the water all day!

That evening we met up with Chantell and Karen and had a "real good time" (that's for you mom) out on the town together. We didn't get home until 5am and we saw alot of delivery men - the bread guy, the milk guy, the muffin man - and don't think that Cally never jumped into every one of the trucks while they were in the convenience store because she did! And she layed on the horn the whole time (we have video footage!) They loved it and we thought we got a good deal because the bread guy gave us crumpets and muffins - we couldn't be happier.

Needless to say we didn't feel too good the next day...after eating a few more free crumpets we found out they were moldy. YUK. Then we really didn't feel good...but we had to get Rah Rah back to the Autobarn so off we went in the sweltering heat reeking of booze. Haha. Headed to the plane that night (friday) with sore heads and tummies and made our way back to Melbourne! Two days there and then we are outta this country...are you ready for us?
