Today was fantastic!!! We were transported to the marina at 7:00 this morning and caught a tour boat of only 20 people out to the Great Barrier Reef. The water was a little choppy, but we made it to two different dive/snorkel sites with a buffet lunch included. Tara went for her first dive at the second location in the outer reef. I stuck to snorkeling and was rewarded with two views of a reef shark, several beautiful fish, and one really cute sea turtle! I was able to view Tara from above and she looked like she was having fun playing on the sea floor with a giant clam! 
Oh the stories we have. We made it back to shore about 4:30 and proceeded to dinner at an Irish restaurant (YUM!) Tomorrow we will head up to Kurunda to the rainforest via skyrail and the return trip on a train!! Yeepie skippie! I will hopefully post tomorrow with more news! Cross your fingers that the pictures from our underwater camera turn out ok! Stories to come include…sea pineapples, and Tara’s mermaid adventures
