If I had to pick one word to describe today it would be..., well I don't think there is a word in Webster's that can give today justice. The beauty of Gods creation just blew my mind today. We took a cruise to Green Island where we got to walk on the beach, draw in the sand and get pumped for the Great Barrier Reef. Next we took another boat out to the Great Barrier Reef!
Once at the reef, we went for a quick dip in the ocean to enjoy a bit of snorkeling. It wasn't much of an enjoyment to me at first as the thought of breathing underwater is just so weird. I thought I was going to hyperventilate but I managed. The water was really choppy and the waves kept hitting me in th face and freaking me out. Next I got super brave, got my wet suit on, packed up and went under for some scuba diving!!!
It was kinda scary diving under and having to breathe with the air tank however when I relaxed, I was able to see one of the 7 wonders of the world up close and personal. The hardest thing was keeping my ears equalized and breathing normal and calm. We seen a rainbow of fish, clams, coral and even a shark!!! Yep, you read that right. There was a shark snoozing on the bottom taking his afternoon nap :) he was precious lol
The ride back was rather rough and we hit some large waves that made us come out of our seats, it was kind of like a looooonnngggg roller coaster. I still feel like I'm sitting on a boat and swaying back and forth. Im finishing up my last minute shopping and getting ready for the longest day of my life, literally. Were all set to leave the hotel at 3:30 am! I think we should only have to pay for half a night lol
Until next time mates!
