We are off on a much anticipated adventure,
a trip to Australia and New Zealand!
We flew Quantas, the official airline of Australia, to Cairnes,
and then drove over to Port Douglas to visit the Great Barrier Reef.
We arrived to lush tropical surroundings and temps in the 90's.
What a welcome escape from our North American February!
Our hotel had salt water pools that went right up to some rooms' balconies!
First on our schedule was snorkeling the the Great Barrier Reef!
We took this boat out for over an hour to get to the reef.
Summer in Australia is marine stinger season so we had to wear stinger suits.
Not all of us were thrilled with our suits!
Just a few underwater pictures from our snorkeling.
You have to see it for yourself to appreciate its vastness and beauty.
A giant clam I spotted.
Our snorkel trip went swimmingly!
