On Sunday I went on a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef.
The boat left Cairns at 9:00
It was rainy and windy and the tide was changing so the boat ride out was rough.
Lots of people got sea sick.
I didn't, but I wasn't feeling great when we got to the marina.

First we went on the glass bottom boat.
The picture is of coral on the reef.
Since it was overcast the coral wasn't colorful,
but it was still very cool.

I spent about 2 hours snorkeling.
It was so amazing!!!
There were so many beautiful fish.
I saw schools of fish, just swimming by.
That was unbelievable.
The highlight of the day was being able to pet the huge fish on the right.
His name is Wally.
He lives by the Marina and I came across him right at the end of the day.
He was about as big as my torso and very brightly colored.

The boat ride home was gorgeous.
The sun was out and it was a nice, smooth ride.
I rode outside on the top of the boat and loved every second of it!

When we got back to Cairns we went to the grocery store and bought this spread for $10.00.
We enjoyed it for dinner, breakfast, and lunch!
Yes my total food budget for the trip was $9.95!
