Today was the most amazing day ever! Ben, Stuart, Patrick, and I went on the Reef Experience!
It was absolutely amazing. We got on the boat around 8 o’clock and ate egg and bacon sandwiches and had some coffee. Then we got some instructions about picture taking, how to do an introductory dive, and some other basic instructions. We took the boat about 45 minutes from the coast to the first part of the reef. I was a little nervous and tried to snorkel. Lets just say breathing out of a tube makes me panic like crazy. I got out of the water after about 20 minutes and went up to the top deck and sunbathed. Then Patrick came and convinced me to go back out. I went out with a noodle and just swam around with him. Then I decided I didn’t want to scuba dive because I felt like I would be claustrophobic and wouldn’t be able to breath very well. After we swan and sunbathed some more we had lunch. We had alfredo pasta, chicken, salad, bread, and potato salad. Then we headed to our next reef destination called Hastings Point or Reef. This time I went out with Stuart and Patrick with just my mask without the snorkel, a noodle, and my flippers. This time was a lot better because I would just come up for air when I needed it. This reef was a lot shallower so I could see a lot more which was really nice. Then I went inside the boat because I was starting to get a little sunburn. Then we ate cheese and drank wine on our way back to the dock. By this time it was about four o’clock and we caught a ride back to our apartment to shower and go out to dinner. We went to a place called Cock & Bull and I had fish and chips and a salad. We each had a jug of our favorite beer and then went by the liquor store and picked up a couple bottles of wine and headed back and had a pretty fun night. This morning we woke up and checked out of the apartments and headed for the airport. We got on our flight back to Brisbane and then checked into our apartment called the Maritin. Its extremely nice. We ordered pizza and pasta and then I took a nap. Now we are all sitting around blogging away. I think Ben and I are going to head to McDonald’s to use their free wi-fi and upload pictures! I hope everyone is doing well and I miss you all very much. Cheers.
