After our big road trip we stayed in Cairns for four days with Olli and Becky and their two dogs. On our first day we went snorkelling on The Great Barrier Reef on a trip we booked through Olli's travel agency Travel Finns. He also helped us book our Jucy van. On the reef we saw an amazing amount of very interesting corals and colourful fish, that really made us think about getting an underwater camera someday. It also most conveniently happened to be Ville's 30th birthday so in the evening we went to Macalister Brewing Company to try some craft beer.
On our second day we went fishing with some friends of Olli and Becky. We went to a beautiful place called Big Sands and even got to experience a short leg of 4-wheel driving on the sand on our way down to the river. Here we spent half the day swimming, fishing and just sitting on the sand. And Ville even caught a fish called Sooty Grunter!
On our third day we didn't do much, except some planning for our last month of travelling. In the evening we had an amazing seafood dinner with prawns, mud crab and bugs. They were delicious!
On our last day we went on a tour to the Tablelands just a bit inlands from Cairns. We stopped to look at some huge trees (too big to be photographed properly with our camera), swimming in a crater, eating delicious scones and local cheese and gazing at nice waterfalls and the beautiful landscape.
