Finally after 22days of storms followed by 30degree heat and around 3000 Km we ditched our beloved campervan in Cairns. Arriving on the Friday our lives changed from rags to riches....we had arranged to meet up with a family friend who owned a brewery and restaurant in Cairns. After booking into our hostel we headed to the brewery (Blue Sky Brewery) which turned out to be in the center of town to meet Ben, the place was amazing and Ben immediately hooked us up with a wicked Great Barrier Reef diving and snorkelling tour on Sunday. We also had the offer to stay in his flat until our flight on Monday, the flat was smack bang in the center of the city and after one look at the huge balcony and roof top swimming pool we immediately ditched our already paid hostel for friday night! From here things only got better, he gave us the keys to his Porsche so we rocked up at the hostel to get our key deposit back in a Porsche... greatly confusing everyone! As you would imagine from someone who owns a brewery we were treated to a fridge (on the balcony) full of beer! That night we were treated again to watching a Basketball match from the corporate box followed obviously by a lot of free beer and the promise of a fishing trip on his boat the next day! We could have pinched ourslves to see if we were dreaming! The fishing trip was awesome, stopping next to a desert island in the middle of the ocean for a swim in crystal clear waters. The next day we headed out on our tour for some snorkelling and scuba-diving, it was something we will never forget, it was strange at first getting use to breathing under the water and a slight fear of sharks which soon was pushed way to the back of our minds as we layed eyes on some clown fish (Nemo) playing in their coral home....something we always wanted to see and never thought it possible. It is safe to say Cairns was like living in a different world, and we loved every second!
Po 3.000 km dorazime do mesta Cairns, nasi posledni zastavky! Diky tomu ze Rickuv tata si umi vybrat pratele, se nas posledni vikend meni na bezstarosny!A tak se hned po prijezdu jdeme seznamit s Benem, ktery nas hned nabada pro ruzne vylety, a my nasledne vybirame dalsi snorchlovani i s uvodnim kurzem do sveta potapeni! Ackoliv uz mame nase veci v zaplacenem hostelu, neodmitame nabidku zustat v luxusnim byte primo v centru, bazenem na strese, a to ze se nam na prste houpou klice k Porche je uz jen tresnickou na necekanem dorte! Cas leti rychle, neodmitame nabidku na VIP sedadla a basketbalovy zapas (Sydney x Cairns) a pozdeji presidlujeme do Benovi restaurace, kde se bavime az do pozdnich hodin! Slibene rybareni nasleduje dalsi rano, zastavujeme na opustenem ostrove, a taky na koralovych utesech - primo uprostred oceanu, jen jedna mala lod a siroko daleko nikdo! Posledni den pred odjezdem, a my se vypravujeme na nas celodenni vylet. To ze jsme si mysleli, ze snorchlovani bude stejne jake jsme si zkusili asi pred 10 dny je omyl! Zastavujeme na obrovskych koralech, a ani se nestacime poradne rozkoukat a uz nas volaji na pripravu pred potapenim! Zaciname trosku stresovat, z kazde skupiny to vzdycky nekdo vzda..A tak pripraveni, s kyslikovou bombou na zadech sedime na okraji lodi kdyz v tom mi oznami ze jdu pod vodu prvni ani se nestacim rozkoukat a muj vzduch z vesty je vypusten a ten hodny pan mi zatlaci hlavu pod vodu a dej se vule bozi! Hm docela divny pocit, kdyz prvni co vidim je ta velka ryba se zubama...? Ricki se objevuje vzapeti, pak dalsi, jeden to vzdava a pote cvicime nejake to ukazovani a dychani pod vodou..samozrejme jsem v takovem soku ze jsem vsechno zapomnela, ale tak chytam se a my vyrazime do hlubin 3 + instruktor! Naskyta se nam uzasna podivana, vidime koraly presne ze dna az nahoru k hladine, vypada to jako obrovska zed! Po par minutach si uz pripadame jak zkuseni potapeci a zastavujeme nad koralem kde se honi "klaun" rybi, zname jako Nemo! Neuveritelne, vidime desitky dalsich podivnych koralovych ryb, berevnych koralu a slunce snazici se prodrat pod hladinu. Jdeme az na dno (kolem 15m) kde si sedame a instruktor nam podava ze zeme "morske okurky" - jakysi obrovsky barevny zivocich! Uzivame si to naplno a hlavne diky tomu ze si tento nas sen uskutecnujeme na Velkych Koralovych Utesech! Ty jsou tak velke ze je mozno je videt z vesmirneho prostoru a take svetove nejvetsi struktora tvorena z zijicich organismu!
