Getting There

James and Mattie with the "Big Breakfast"

 As you can see, the weather was not particularly auspicious for our Barrier Reef trip. But the tours run rain or shine, since you'll be getting wet anyhow. :)  Matthew really enjoyed the boat ride out to the reef (90 mins), especially standing on the windiest part of the deck.  James enjoyed it, too, but he spent most of it inside reading a book. (There were a lot of very seasick people in there with him, but he didn't seem too bothered.)

More reef pics in the entry below and more to come. :)
