Today we had a day set up with Ocean Spirit Cruises! We walked over to the docks at about 8am to board a 105-foot catamaran which took us out to the reef. It was about a two hour ride to get there but they served us tea and coffee and the view was spectacular! It was a bit overcast when we first woke up but once we were offshore it really cleared up and the sun burned bright and hot! Once we were at the reef we had the chance to go snorkeling! The water was so clear and we saw tons of fish! I even saw a sea turtle! We were served a buffet lunch on the boat. We also took a ride on a semi-submarine that took us out to the bigger parts of the reef. It was amazing to see these huge walls of coral! We saw another sea turtle, a massive parrot fish, and we even caught a glimpse of Nemo. We spent some time relaxing on the boat and then it was back to Cairns! Showered up and had a light dinner. There is a casino right across the street from our hotel and since I have never gambled in one before, I convinced Mom and Dad to take me. I lost my $10, so did Mom, but Dad made a small win so he took us out for ice cream! It was a fun day!
Until next time,
Kimmy
