Arrived in Cairns on Sunday and planned to stay here for a week to see the reef and the rainforest! On Monday we checked out Cairns and I tried to rest my ankle as it was still hurting! Tuesday we got up early and took a boat trip out to the reef where I tried diving which was pretty random - hard getting used to breathing under water - but not to difficult once you got used to it - my ears were killing though!!

After the dive we went snorking to explore the reef there were so many random looking fish and big green and blue clams a girl I was swiming with swam down and touched it n it moved - so freaky!

Spent the whole day on the reef and boat catching some rays! was absolutey amazing - would recommend diving on the reef to anyone that comes up to cairns!

On wednesday Tom and I chilled out by the lagoon al day tanning - or at least trying to tan! damm british skin! we eat Kanga bangers on the bbq's over at the lagoon that night and then went for Baskin and Robbins ice cream...which is soooo good! man i'm gonna get fat what with a dodgy ankle n such good food around!
