Thursday 2016-09-01 I took a trip with the company "Reef Magic" to the (outer) Great Barrier Reef, went scuba diving, and got a certificate in Scuba Diving! Like I could manage scuba diving without a certified scuba diver holding my hand haha! The "Reef Magic-tour" was indeed magical - I was scuba diving, touched the reefs, saw Wally, and got to pet Wally! My two diving instructors and I: <-- Aidan Max--> Putting on my wetsuit was like mission impossible - maybe I should've chosen a bigger size. 😳 The fish were amazing: so many, so colourful... ...and the biggest one, "Wally" - a Napoleon Fish - was very cuddly and I got to pet him for several seconds. Then he came back, and I could pet him some more! 😃 He looks like a cartoon with his big eyes and big body, but he is for real. The reef too was astonishing, it's like a whole new world beneath the surface, everything is untouched, saved and protected. When finished scuba-diving, snorkelling on the water surface, I accidentally cut myself on the reef! I never realised the reef actually was that close. When I got back to the B&B there were a lot of people next-door - the house next-door is going to be in a movie! A movie about Torres Strait (the strait with the small islands between northern Australia and Papua New Guinea), but I know nothing more than that. Friday September 2nd I went into Cairns Casino, and I held a koala, a baby crocodile, and a jungle python: The python was so scary - meandering here and there and I had no control! 😣 And I was watching the BIG crocodile being fed, my God his jaws are strong! Tomorrow I'll be going back to Sweden. I cannot believe this trip already has come to an end. 😔
