Great Barrier Reef Trip Day 3: Lady Musgrave Court and Captain Cook Drive

At last, I've finished written up my last entry to conclude our 3D2N trip to the Great Barrier Reef! And since it was a road trip, there was so much time spent on either sitting in the bus or riding on the boat. I'd rather take flights if we were to visit Cairns next time, seriously. Upon our arrival on the first day, we had so much fun playing on the Agnes Water Beach. Day 2 was even more exciting with activities like guided walk at the Carpicornia Cays National Park, fish feeding and hours of snorkeling at the Lady Musgrave Island and Coral Lagoon, as well as sunset watching and a little bush walking at the Joseph Banks Conservation Park.

I could barely smile with my sun-tanned skin after hours of snorkeling at the Coral Lagoon. My hair was so rough (due to the very limited tap water supply here, no showering or shampoo-ing but just a quick rinse off was allowed), fluffy, and messy because the genius me forgot to bring my hair comb along. We chose to sit on the open-air upper deck this time, instead of the air-conditioned lower deck which made us suffer so badly from sea sick.

Howdy!!! I'll be taking you along to Lady Musgrave Island and Coral Lagoon for a little snorkeling adventure today! I promise, it shall lead you to nowhere else but a paradise of fun and excitement, no money back guarantee! ;p Earlier on, I mentioned about a 45-minute guided walk at the Captricornia Cays National Park and lunch buffet on the boat that came afterwards. Now, it's time for us to gear ourselves up with snorkeling equipment such as snorkel, mask, flippers, life jacket (which may not be necessary to you but it's extremely crucial to me), and start swimming like a mermaid!

Day 2 of our Great Barrier Reef Trip. I woke up at 5 a.m. in the morning after having a not-so-good night sleep. Not that I wanted to, but I'm a very light sleeper who tolerates zero noise when I'm asleep. There were people snoring, bunk beds creaking... and all other noises that drove me nuts *pulling hair*

Great Barrier Reef Road Trip Day 1: Agnes Water Beach and 1770 Backpackers

Happy Easter Monday, everybody!!! I'm officially back from my 3 days package tour to the Great Barrier Reef, still in a stage of recovering from my holiday mood and getting some rest in my home sweet home. The road trip was indeed an awesome one with my traveling buddies and Sunset Safaris, except the long hours sitting and crampy tight hips. In that very morning of departure, we met up at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Brisbane and took off around 7-ish.
