Kate,Jo and Bronagh Get Around
Hello again.
We are sorry about the last of photos we're just tryin to figure out how to do it. We'll try harder we promise.
So we have been busy since we spoke to you last. On Saturday we were up early for our trip to the Great Barrier Reef. We got a wee sailing boat out which took three hours, so we're now all bronzed beauties. We went snorkelling and scuba diving which was so amazing. Was a bit weird getting used to being able to breathe under water but the things we saw were unbelievable. We knelt on the sea bed and touched a finding nemo fish, swam with a giant turtle and had wine and cheese on our way back. The crew were brilliant, even thoughSkipper Jim was a wee bit pervy. We had a big night out planned partyin til 5am, but we fell asleep til nearly midnight so we played cards instead! And a cockroach crawled across Bronaghs leg. Which was yuk.
The next day was another early start to go to Cape Tribulation. We trekked through the rainforest (which lived up to its name and rained. A lot!). Us Irish ladies did well, everyone else got off the bus in bikinis and flip flops, but not us. We were all kitted out in raincoats and hiking boots. After our trek we took a cruise down the Daintree River for a bit of crocidile spotting. We saw about 4 and they were lovely, we even got to pet them. And the doctor says Kates arm will be fine in a few months. That night we stayed in the Beach House, a hut right smack bang in the middle of the rainforest. We managed to find a bar though so we were ok. (although all Joannes drinks were highly overpriced). We saw a huge lizard, and a big black snake in the girls toilets. And the spiders were bigger than our hands. So now we're relaxing on Magnetic Island. Its a quiet place with gorgeus beaches and hammocks by the pool. We've met plenty of people (the barman and his girlfriend are from Newry) so nights are fun. And theres Koala Bears and possums everywhere.
Hope you're all keepin well, speak soon xo
PS. before we left Cairns we took another trip to the piercing parlour. Bronaghs turn this time
