Viking World Cruise

We're in Cairns for a 2nd day. And what a great day it was! We went to the Great Barrier Reef to snorkel. The skies looked a bit ominous as we were leaving the harbor, but by the time we got to the Reef (about 1½ hour boat ride), we were greeted with sunshine. We transferred from the large boat to the larger "pontoon" which was where we spent the afternoon. We had 3 hours to snorkel, go on the semi-submersible and/or the glass bottom boat, eat a nice buffet lunch, and listen to the on-board marine biologists talk about the Reef. It was very impressive. Unfortunately, the water was a bit green and mirkie from all the rain they've been having, but at least we had sunshine for our snorkeling. Check out the huge pretty blue fish, Wally, that followed me around.Okumaya devam et
