Great Barrier Reef

Wow! What a day. I woke up this morning with a sick tummy. I must have picked up a tummy bug. The weather was expected to be raining & windy so we had everything crossed that something would change.

We headed to our little boat only to find that we'd been upgraded....SCORE!!!

I still managed to get sick. It's very hard to vomit discretely when the sun deck is full.

I managed to get myself together in time to go snorkelling with some very excited kids. They did so well!

This is the Great Barrier Reef on an overcast day, with choppy seas. The camera does not do it justice.

The kids enjoying the sun deck in between dive sites.

Next adventure was our glass bottom boat adventure. Charlotte got to see her Nemo fish & couldn't hide her excitement. She had the other passengers in histerics. She won the captains heart who then took us for an extra long glass bottom boat experience. 

It looks really calm. It so wasn't! We managed to get in the water long enough to get an underwater family photo taken. It was so cool.

My fave photo of the day. The photographer did well to get all six of us in shot in choppy seas.

This is when things started to get tough. I'm done. Time to get out & head back, the 1.5hr ride home was rough. We got very wet on the sundeck from the swell spraying over the bough of the boat!

What an incredibly amazing team on board. They were accommodating & helpful with the kids (the only kids on board). I cannot recommend Reef Experience any higher. 

I look like I've had a rough day. I still feel like I'm inside a tumble dryer :-( I think boats are out for me.
