Sydney & Cairns

We have been in Australia now for about 5 or 6 days...you kinda loose track of time out here. haha. Flew into Sydney and stayed at the Park Hyatt, which is an absolutely AMAZING hotel! It felt sooo good to stay in a bed after 7 days of sleeping in our car. Justin got the hotel for free through his points. The shuttle driver didn't believe us that we were staying there. Haha we weren't exactly looking our best either. lol. We could see the opera house from both of our balconies. Lived the life for a day and then flew to Cairns and went back to staying at hostels. As of now we are staying in an apartment type of room, which is super nice because we can cook our own food and we have our own shower...saving money that way. Two days ago we went on a boat to see the Great Barrier Reef. Justin scuba dived for 20min and then snorkelled the rest of the day and I just snorkelled. It was amzing to see all of the fish and coral! I couldn't believe how much you could see and how close we got to so many fish. Justin even saw a sleeping shark while he was scuba diving. Amazing experience!
Yesterday we got up at 5:30am to go white water rafting on the Tully for the day. It was only a grade 4 but it was still a really good day! This one was good because we got to raft for the entire day as opposed to just a couple of hours. We didn't get home until about 7:00pm.
Today we are both a bit sun burnt so we are taking it easy, probably check out the market today. We fly to Brisbane tomorrow morning and will be there for atleast 4 days. Tell you more later.
Take Care,
Justin and Amanda
