This past weekend I spent in Cairns (f.y.i. pronounced Cans). Cairns is known for being the place you go to see a world heritage site called "the Great Barrier Reef". Unlike the weather in Melbourne, in Cairns it was sunny and hot, which was a nice change to the cold and rain I was experiencing. Our group arrived on Friday night and we made our way to our "Resort". I put the quotation marks there because we were in the backpackers section of the resort, which featured rooms with bunk beds, no ensuite bathrooms and no TV. But that was okay, we really only needed our room to sleep.
Then on Saturday our group went on a scuba diving/snorkeling cruise boat out to the Great Barrier Reef. It was amazing! I loved scuba diving and seeing the coral right in front of your eyes. I saw a ray come out from under the sand and then swim away. Then we saw a sea turtle swimming around. I got to touch a sea cucumber too!
