Wow, the great barrier reef is everything that you would expect and more! It was amazing and very cartoon like as the fish/reef were so bright and multi coloured. There were huge electric blue and purple starfish too which were fab to see! We both went scuba diving, took a few minutes to get used to but we were soon well on our way. It was very odd not to talk to each other for a whole 30mins diving but we managed with sign language! Oh...and by the way...we fou...

Our mumsies arrived last Wednesday and after a tearful reunion we went to stay in a HOTEL! Dear me, we both nearly had a heart attack after being in hostels! We...
