We now ask that you travel back in time with us, not long ago, on a planet not very distant at all, in fact closer than you can imagine, Nico and Damo hit the Great Barrier Reef. Well, not hit it, but took a three hour boat tour (egads, first warning) out through inclemant seas to the Great Barrier Reef.To be more specific, the date was July 19, 2006 and the planet was the planet Earth. And this trip was a 5 day spree in the Cairns/Port Douglas region of Australia just prior to our trip to 'The Top End.'
The boat ride over was through very rough water and
several passengers were delicately grasping barf bags in the rear of the 
vessel (a reenactment of what this looks like is to the right.) Fortunately for us, this old crappy boat was not our final destination. Our final destination was The Reef Encounter, a live aboard pontoon boat for an overnight stay on the reef....it even had a hot tub to warm up after snorkelling or scuba diving.The next post will be about our experiences on the live aboard vessel including snorkelling and scuba diving on the world's biggest reef. For now, sunset over the reef as we sipped on a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon...mmmm.

LOVE the re-enactment of the choppy waters impact on the tourists. :) You guys are great!
Glad to see you're still having fun!

It's just like they say, couples that pretend puke together, stay together. Or could it be morning sickness that has befallen our poor nico? Wink, wink. I'm sure damo has filled you in on all the Calgary predictions.
