Hey everyone!!
ust got back from Cairns and it was probably the best weekend of my life!!
We got there on Wednesday and layed by the pool and enjoyed the sun for a few hours before we all got ready and went out to dinner and a few pubs. Thursday during the day I woke up early and went skydiving with 4 or 5 other people and it was AMAZING!! We got an awesome view of The Great Barrier Reef as we floated down over the ocean. We jumped at 14,000 feet in the air and had a 60 second free fall before the instructor pulled the parachute. We landed right on a beautiful beach and got to hang out for a while and wait for the others to jump. It was pretty much the biggest adrenaline rush of my life and it was definitely worth every second!!! I also got a video of me skydiving and some still photos from the video! That night we all went out and celebrated our adventures and a local pub called The Woolshed. It was a pretty cool place and they had a meal and drink for 10 dollars. Later in the night everyone gets up and dances on the tables so it was a lot of fun.
Friday we all took a boat out to The Great Barrier Reef and they fed us and gave us an introductory Suba lesson which was awesome!! I loved being down there and getting up close and personal with the reef and all the inhabitants! We got to touch a giant clam and see tons of fish. It was beautiful. We also got the chance to snorkel and one of the guys took us on a snorkel tour and showed us sea cucumbers and we got to hold them and stuff, overall it was pretty amazing. Of course, we went out again that night, had dinner and enjoyed the night life.
Saturday we hung out and shopped, got a lot of gifts for everyone! Then we layed by the pool and then went out later on in the night to a few different pubs. Overall it was probably the greatest and most adventurous weekend of my life!
