A Holiday (pics included)

So – it has been about 2 1/2 years since I have had a holiday. Yeah I have gone away for a long weekend, taking 2 fri/monday off work. That was living it up. Now I am currently on a 2 week holiday. It feels weird.

Due to poor organisation, our original plan to visit thailand was cancelled. Just as well – the political riots and 20+deaths (3 western tourists and 3 journalists included) makes it less than ideal to visit at the moment. Not to mention the early rain season.

Regardless – we booked a quick trip up to Port Douglas

flying in to Cairns and then driving and staying @ Sea Temple

Of course Steph hadn’t been to the great barrier reef – so we jumped on a boat IMG_2640b IMG_2653b

and went out to Agrincourt on the outer Reef

Steph even went in the water

 

IMG_2658b IMG_2663b with the crazy fishies for some snorkelling and we also went on the semi-submersible

Apart from the pretty coloured fish, there were pretty coloured coral and turtles

We went for a drive up Kuranda way to see some forest

The rest of the trip was mainly relaxing IMG_2820bw ,

drinking wine IMG_2837b  and
