Hi all,

Here are the photos from our trip away up North. We travelled up to Cairns on friday 28th and stayed for two nights, then we travelled further up north on Sunday and spent the day looking around at the markets and we headed back to Cairns on monday where we did some awesome shopping and then slowly made our way back on Tuesday.

Enjoy the photos :) there plenty more where these came from but these are what we think are the best

Giiday yall!

So Daniel and I are going to finally do some exploring of Australia this weekend. We are going to Cairns, Port Douglas and the Great barrier reef. So i preparation we brought ourselves a new digital camera.
Before you say anything, yes we both already have our own digital camera but this one is special and better. It can go underwater, it is dust proof, freeze proof and shock proof!!

Exactly like this!! We even got a floating strap, so when we are swimming and it slips from either of our hands it will float to the top instead of to the bottom. :)

So after we brought it we decided to test out the camera in water! We went to the base pool and we had it all to ourselves. :) We had some friends of ours join us as well. You will see them in the photos.

So here are the photos enjoy them and we will post the ones from our trip after we come back :) Oh i cant wait, but i have to admit im rather nervous about saturday and swimming in the ocean amongst the reefs and the fishes. I know Daniel will love it and have a ball.

For those that want to check out what were doing on Saturday - google compass tours great barrier reef australia and it should come up with it.
We are doing the swimming and the glass bottom boat, because im bit of a chicken swimming amongst the fish.

Anyway enjoy our photos from our afternoon in the pool
