Cairns / Great Barrier Reef

The weather was bad in Cairns. And since it was almost booked out on hotel rooms, I had to take a dorm bed for the very first time on my travels. And my first Great Barrier Reef tour got canceled. Well, doesn't sound too good, does it? 😃

Well, it all turned out just fine. The guys in my dorm were ALL very nice and everybody tried to be as calm as possible. I managed to book another Reef tour and went snorkeling and it was just great. Since I wasn't able to take pictures, I provide some shots from the Cairns Aquarium that give you somewhat of an idea of what it was like, although I unfortunately did not get to see sharks. Can't have it all I guess 😃

Side note: my first flight out to Perth got canceled so the airline provided me with my nicest hotel room so far. Couldn't complain about that. 😃
