We woke up to find our luck with the weather had dramatically changed with sun shining outside. It is an excellent timing for our visit to Great Barrier Reef on Green Island. We went to the pier to join other tourists waiting for the ferry to take us to Green Island. Unusually, the only way to access the island is by a commercial run tour operator's ferries rather than a public ferry.

With our options rapidly running out, we woke up today with no plan. The original plan was to head for Lagoon and sunbathe because of the sheer lack of stuff to do but the poor weather ended our sunbathing aspirations so we hung out in the hostel doing nothing.

But I was looking forward to the sun in Cairns, we got up, had a wander around shops doing some last minute shopping before grabbing a taxi to Airport. The flig...
