Hey,
Well we woke up at 9am this morning and it is about 30 degrees already! We had our showers, got dressed and headed out onto the streets of Townsville for Breakfast. We both had the 'big breaky' it was amazing! So different to American Hot Breakfasts. Chandler, Rach, Joey and Ross you are missing out on so much!Anyway, once we had had breaky we went back to the hotel and got prepared to go to the Great Barrier Reef!

We left for the bus to the Boat Ramp at about 10:30am and we arrived there at around 11:30am. We then caught a sailing boat across to the Reef and were immediately stunned by the dense loads of coral, fish and different colours we saw below and around us and the boat. Pheobe forced me into booking a snorkeling class that morning so we got changed in to our swimmers and were taken into the water. Suprisingly the water was so warm and clear. We swam in the reef for about 2hrs!!! It was amazing. In the water in was so calm and relaxing, I swear I nearly fell asleep! In was also very quiet vthe only thing I could really here was Pheobe going crazy over things she had seen!!! I think my favourite fish was the Clown Fish. What an awesome name, huh? Anyway, it was orange and black and it loved the sea Annenomeas. Man, that was hard to spell!! And tehy were quite small and the tour guide said they had made a cartoon movie call 'Finding Nemo'. Which has Clown Fish in it. I so want to see it!!! The tour guide started to tell us about how some humans keep poluting the reef and are slowy destroying it!!! I was appauled and Pheobe started crying! But then they told us about an organisation that helps it so we were happy then!
In the rush to get in the water Pheobe forgot to put on sunscreen and is now very burnt and I am a little bit but definately not as much as Pheobe!
Once we were out and dressed we then caught the boat back to the boat ramp and then we caught the bus back to our hotel. We had a brilliant day and experience at the Great Barrier Reef.When we got back to Townsville we went shopping and had dinner out at a fancy resturant! YAY!!!
Anyway cya tomorrowMonica
