We booked Quicksilver cruises to experience the Great Barrier Reef on the second day we are in Cairns.
It took us 1.5 hours on shuttle bus to the port Douglas and a further 1.5 hours on Quicksilver cruise to the on the sea deck. Frankly speaking, it is not a pleasant jurney before we arrived the deck, Lucy, Alex and granny vomit heavely and there is nothing could help them. :-(
As this might be the only chance for grandparents to experience the outer sea and great barrier reef in their lives, we decide to do as much as we can. So we three, grandpa, Alex and me go for scuba-diving and grandma go to Ocean walk.
It is a totally different feeling when scuba-diving in the sea, the creaturs around you are so wonderful and mysterious, the coach taught us to feel some sea anemone etc. I hope I could have 8 eyes and 8 hands to look and touch..... time always pass quickly, only 30 minutes under the sea is quite not enough....
Grandma also enjoyed herself in Ocean walk activity, the professionals attracted fish by feeding them and picked up some interesting creaturs such as sea cucumber, dead sea anemone etc. for the visitors to touch.
Lucy is happy and jogging on the deck, look at fish through the glass window on the bottom of the deck.... and she fell in sleep on the back journey so avoided uncomfortable.
