Great Barrier Reef 🐠🐡🐟

Wow, what a wonderful feeling to wake up in the camper in the morning 😇 We survived the first night and are very happy with our bed on 4 wheels. Currently, there are some animals around us, according to Julia they are wild geese 🦢, loudly quarreling or mating 🤷🏻‍♀️, but since we had to leave at 7:00 AM, the night was over for us at 6:00 AM anyway.

Breakfast in the camper, just awesome 🥰

Then we went on the boat ⛴ towards the Great Barrier Reef.

The audience on the boat was hmmmm yes quite unusual, for example:

Fortunately, we had booked a private snorkeling tour and had a guide who took care of us and swam with us to special reefs for snorkeling. Since we couldn't understand the introduction on the boat, as we were sitting in a group of travelers who didn't speak English and had received the introduction in their native language, the guide was lucky enough to give us a private introduction again 🤪.

When we arrived on Michaelmas Island, we were initially speechless and overwhelmed, we had never seen such a clear sea before 😍

Then we went directly into the sea with a small boat, we think Phil (our snorkel guide) had some concerns about us, as we didn't understand much at the beginning ... 🧐 In the end, his verdict on us was consistently positive 💪🏼 and we even received the snorkel certificate 🎓

The snorkeling was simply breathtaking, we had never seen anything like it before 💙

Afterwards, we took a submarine ride through the reefs, which was also simply beautiful and impressive what nature has created here 😯

On the way back, we passed by the Esplanade Lagoon, we could easily get used to such a 'swimming pool' 🙌🏼

What an incredibly beautiful day, we need to process everything we saw today 🙏🏻

Tomorrow we will continue in our camper towards Townsville.
