Holiday, Holiday, Holiday:)

Oh what a holiday it was. We did the one year celebration up in Cairns where we went out to the Great Barrier Reef and all the other touristy stuff around the area. It was our first time traveling in Australia since our arrival so we were very happy to get away. Our main goal was to visit the Reef as we had heard so much about the area. We were torn between Lady Elliot Island and Cairns (day Reef trip) however since we are both not avid divers/snorkelers we decided on Cairns as there was more to do. In Cairns we went white water rafting, visited Kundra Park, the crocodile farm and many of the local tourist attractions. One thing we noticed about Cairns, which was kind of disappointing, we felt like we were in Asia (we have never been there). Many of store signs were in Japanese and the other Asian dialects. We found it difficult to find MADE IN AUSTRALIA souvenirs (mainly aboriginal art) to bring back to our friends and family overseas. Other than that small disappointment the trip was wonderful overall. If we had a choice we would still prefer to live on the coast however Cairns is a place we would visit again, mainly due to the weather as it was verryyyyyyyyyyyyy hotttttttttttttttttt. Here are some pics, enjoy!
