On my first day in Cairns I found myself at 7 o' clock in the morning on boat 'Tusa' to cruise to the Great Barrier Reef. It is stated that the Great Barrier Reef is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms and can be seen from outer space. And when you think about the Reef, you might built up very colourful pictures of various corals and fish. You might think about Nemo, Dory, sharks and turtles. You imagine a wonderful breathtaking underwater world. But I have to say that Walt Disney gave us once more a very bright idea of reality.
It was a bit frightening to snorkel in that foggy water, while you had to paddle really hard against the strong current. I know i know, the open ocean is wild and wind and waves are common there. I guess i had a wrong idea of snorkeling before... But still, it was very impressive to watch all these exotic fish and to see so many coloured corals in the middle of the ocean. Nevertheless that we couldn't find Nemo and the world down there was not as candy-coloured as we imagined before, was it a rare and exciting day.
