Our trip to the reef was fantastic, despite some rather bad weather. Turned out it is better to go when it is raining as it is not as sweltering! All in all we did about 3 hours of snorkelling at the Norman and Saxon Reefs, about 90 min boat trip from Cairns. We managed to see numerous colourful fishes and corals as well as a Reef Shark, Sea Turtle and Sting Ray. The Turtle was amazing i think it was just like the ones in Finding Nemo but andrew keeps laughing at me for that!
We loved our time snokerlling and since we have been we have talked to some other travellers who went diving rather than snokerlling and they don't seem to have seen as much so we feel pretty lucky! Although there is not much in Cairns it is worth going to the Reef alone! We had a great time! Hopefully andrew will work out how to upload some photos on here and then you will be able to see some the fish that we saw!

Hi
So pleased to hear from you two. The photos appear to have disappeared but that may be because you are updating something. Its been snowing here this morning and the weather people say there is more to come! How has the food been in Australia? Are there lots of Easter eggs around? Hope you don't miss out too much!
Take care and don't go wading in any more crocodile infested waters!
Love Dad
NEEEEMMMOOO!....where is he then?
