The Great Barrier Reef!

Nevertheless, the absolute highlight in Cairns was the sail excursion to the Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven wonders of the natural world and UNESCO world heritage! Every travel supplier has his own small place in the reef he may drive on. The further the reef is from mainland the better it is. We had several stops on different places where we did some diving. Unfortunately real diving lessons are so overpriced in Australia that i had to stick with my snorkel :). So i definitely have to catch up my diving license later, maybe in Thailand or Bali. Whatever even as snorkeler i was lucky enough to dive with reef sharks and turtles on one spot! Total insanity! In total a unforgettable excursion, also because of my bad sunburn on my back!
