Great Barrier Reef

We reached Cairns, and made a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef!

I'm sure most of you have heard of that largest and most magnificent coral reef system on Earth. So I need not say much more to praise its beauty, but let the pictures speak for themselves.

We decided to go snorkeling only, not SCUBA diving. And we hired a digital underwater camera to capture what we saw in pictures. I think that was a good idea.

We were really lucky, we had good weather and fantastic water visibility -- at least 20 metres.
