Cairns Trip

During 11 Nov to 16 Nov, my friends and I went to Cairns, which is situated in Queensland. This place has the climate as Malaysia: humid and hot. Initially, I can't really adapt to the weather, but after sometimes, slowly get to use to it.

With the average temperature around 30 something using the day and 28 something at night, it makes the weather very alike to Malaysia. Here, finally i can wear baju traditional Malaysia, T-shirt, shorts and slippers.

Location of Cairns

Cairns is famous for it Great Barrier Reef. It is labelled by CNN as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. It is a state icon of Queensland.

The Great Barrier Reef is clearly visible from plane flying over (adapt from wiki)

Thus, my friends and I grabbed this opportunity and went snorkeling on a cruise for 3 days 2 nights. Tiring indeed.

Ok, just one photo of us. If i uploaded too many, people will rate my blog as 18SX. As u can see, I am a bit fleshy now, but i lost 1kg of weight. I got tanned a bit too.

Snorkeling in the sea, we saw lots of sea creatures. I saw sharks swimming underneath us, a jellyfish underneath my private part, colorful fishes swimming on the reef, stingray which might be the one that kill the croc hunter and of course my favourite turtle which swim so slow that we keep on following it. Lolz...

From the ship, we can see the horizon of the sea and the sky. It is nice to see sunset, sunrise, moonset and moonrise there. Nice looking view, if only .... So romantic :_(

Come to Cairns, there is other extreme activities to do. My friends went skydiving, but due to budget, i skipped that. One day, i shall try, no worries.

However, one affordable one is white water rafting. Now, let u see the place where we rafted.

River for white water rafting

Ok, there is no photo of my on the boat, is with my friends. I will post it on facebook when i get it :p.

Cairns is a nice place, but i don't think i will come here twice.
