I’m done! I’m done! I’m done! So I am finally done with studying, essays, projects and exams! Now I am free to vacation! My sister, Maria, is with me still and we went to Cairns for a little break.
We stayed in a hostel, which ended up being very nice. The fist day that we were there we just got settled into our room and explored the city around us. We went out to eat to a place called Outback Jacks. Maria had wanted to get fish and chips the whole time we were here, so that ended up looking like a good place to get it. Then when we got back to the hostel we booked our next day. The second day that we were there, we went to the Great Barrier Reef! It was amazing! We woke up at 6:00 a.m. and got on a shuttle bus that took us from Cairns to Port Douglas. From Port Douglas we took a huge boat two hours to part of the reef. We were served breakfast and lunch on the boat. The boat made three different stops in the reef. We had ordered an underwater camera so we could take proper pictures while we were there. It might have been our best decision the whole day.
The third day we went bungy jumping! I did not want to go!!!!! But my sister has wanted to go for years, so I told her I would go with her. It ended up being so much fun, and so funny. I bought the DVD of my jumping off. You can see the fear in my face as the guy pushes me towards the end. Then we did a jungle swing. It is the fastest jungle swing in the world. It was a day of adrenalin.
The forth day we went on a tour in the mountains to see waterfalls and the rainforest. We were able to swim in the waterfalls and in a pure spring water river. The river water was filtered through the mountains, and the tour guide said it was drinkable but we didn’t drink it. We also saw an old castle that was made by a Spanish man. It was a beautiful and relaxing day.
Now we are off to Sydney.
