Cairns, Australia..

わたしはBrisbaneでいきました。

I went to Brisbane as well.
わたしのおばあさんはBrisbaneでとまります。

My aunt is staying there.
2日におばあさんのうちでとまりました。

I spent only 2 days in Brisbane and I was staying at my aunt's house.
Brisbaneでいって、Cairnsでひとりでいきました。

After Brisbane, I went to Cairns alone.

これはCairnsで公共のスイミングプールです。

This is Cairns's public swimming pool.
とてもおおきいときれいです。

It is quite a big and beautiful swimming pool.

一等最初、わたしはskydivingをしました。
The fiirst thing I did after putting all my stuffs at the backpackers' hotel, I went to skydive.

Skydivingはとてもたのしかったです。
It was freakingly fun at first~~~~~


~~~~~ until a couple minutes before you actually jumping down from the plane. The plane looks fragile, old and it doesn't have a door. So, you can feel the wind in the plane.

でも、ちょっとこわかったです。
It was a bit scary as well. When you jumped down from the plane, it was an undescribable, adrenaline rushing experience.

But after a while, you stomach feel nothing and you feel like floating in the air. The view of Cairns from the air was awesome.
とても きれいでした。

The photo below shows how happy I was, eventhough the 'me' in the picture looks idiotic..

じの日、わたしはGreat Barrier Reef のNorman Reef でscuba divingでした。
The day after, I went scuba diving at Great Barrier Reef, to be specific, Norman Reef.

.

Great Barrier Reef はちょっときれいでした。
Great barrier Reef was disappointing. It is not that great afterall. I have been to Redang, Perhentian and Lang Tengah Island and the corals and marine lives in the islands are way richer than Great Barrier Reef.

White water rafting をしました。
I went to try white water rafting as well.

とてもきけん、でも、すごいいたのしかったです。
It was very dangerous yet fun. You can get drown easily and countless lives were taken by the seem-harmless-river. Besides, there are crocodiles in the river and the biggest crocodile they caught in the river was 4 metres long.

.

When we were rafting, suddenly my boat-mate who sat beside me dropped into the water and instantly, I threw away my peddle and I held him tight. Yet, I was not strong enough to pull him into the boat. After a couple seconds, we managed to pull him in.

.

When he was in the boat, we realized that there is a hole on his leg as stated in the picture below. It was very deep. When he was hanging beside the boat, his leg must be knocked onto a sharp rock and I believe this will leave a scar at his leg for a long long time. A souvenir from the river.

First aid session..

Some videos about the fun stuffs we experienced.

.

Cliff-jumping..

Small yet cool waterfall.

I love these kind of activities and am craving for more in the future.

That's a little bit about my trip in Cairns.
