Oceania Day 10

The Great Barrier Reef Day 2

Finding Nemo? Found…

For the second day I went snorkelling again before breakfast but didn’t see a great deal – mostly the usual jellyfish. After the dive however I threw up over the side of the boat but still managed to eat breakfast. For the rest of the morning I relaxed and after the midday meal I went for another snorkel – this time seeing a massive shark and a stingray. I even had a fish swimming round my head whilst I was down there. The rest of the day went fairly easily onboard the boat with a nice lasagna and seeing a shark stalk some large fish.
