The Cairns Adventure Chronicle vol.2
Hi!! This is muuu. I traveled to Cairns from 5 Oct.~8 Oct.
This time, I’m going to share our journey to Cairns!
Let’s get started!!!
Let's go to The Great Barrier Reef!!
We want to the Great Barrier Reef! We woke up at 6 AM and took an Uber to there. Yuhi and I were especially excited to go.
We took Uber again. lol
As you can see, we couldn't go to the Great Barrier Reef. Just kidding! It seems like a CG image, doesn't it?
Anyway, we took an Uber for around 20 minutes to go to Marina Point.
The boat trip is on!
While on the boat, we had a guide who could speak Japanese and Korean fluently. At first, I assumed he was Japanese because he spoke to us in fluent Japanese. But he was actually Korean.
As we were listening to his instructions, we realized that we had actually booked for snorkeling, not scuba diving. This was disappointing because we had expected to see a beautiful landscape.
We felt disappointed for about an hour.
But well, we had to give up, because we could not change anything.... OMG
Well. In any case, Jin and Yoon couldn't swim well. They said they would be able to follow you guys, even if we couldn't swim. But you know….either way, it was good.
It took about 1.5 hours by boat to reach the Great Barrier Reef. During the journey, we had nothing to do, so we went to the top of the boat.
After a few minutes, suddenly ID’s condition was getting bad.
Yes, he got seasick.
I thought it was supposed to finish soon, but it didn't.
After a while, we reached the diving spot, even though he was still seasick. lol
However, he said I could go diving. Even though we stopped him, he still did it…
The Great Great Barrier Reef
But anyway, the sea was as beautiful as a painting!
I had wanted to go to the Great Barrier Reef before I decided to study abroad. That’s why I was super excited!
After a while, I returned to the ship to put my goggles back on. At that moment, I placed my GoPro on the ship because it was in the way. Then, without realizing it, ID dropped my GoPro into the sea! What a scare! Fortunately, a diver picked it up. It was a close call...
Afterward, we headed to second diving spot.
While we were heading to the second diving spot, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. It was buffet style, and I tried a little bit of everything
This is second diving spot!
It was different from the first spot, which was much closer to reef.
I saw Nemo inside sea anemone, which was Clownfish! It was super cute!
After I swimming about 30 minute, I found tattle!
I tried to dive deep and shoot a film, but my ears started to hurt. Also, I put on fins, which made it easier to dive deep, but I couldn't hold my breath. So, I couldn't shoot the film well.
By the way, ID stayed on the ship. Halfway through his diving, he got seasick again. So, he went back to the ship and fell asleep.
Poor ID!
He nearly fell asleep on the ship while we were snorkeling.
But I'm happy, I was able to enjoy snorkeling!
When we headed back to the port, Yuhi and I slept for a long time. I’m not sure how long I was asleep. I was exhausted and couldn’t keep myself from dozing off.
Wake up everyone
We got back home around 5 p.m. Yesterday, we knew we’d be tired, so we planned to rest for a few hours. But today, I was in charge of dinner, so I started preparing. I was supposed to make Carbonara and Vongole Bianco. I didn’t know how to make them, so I looked up the recipes online. We promised we’d wake up by 9 p.m., but they didn’t wake up until 9:30. Despite setting an alarm, no one woke up on time! I forgot to take a photo of dinner.
After dinner, they apparently watched a movie until around 3 or 4 a.m., but I wasn’t able to wake up.
This is our second day in Cairns!!
