5/15/2012: Great Barrier Reef Part IV

Ok we were in the water yesterday.  And today we see this sign.  Shit, where was the sign yesterday? By the way, there are very few, if any, sharks near the reefs.

Nobody has asked what body of water the reefs are in. Answer: the Coral Sea.  For interesting information check-out “seas” vs “oceans” on Wikipedia. you’ll learn,for instance, the the Pacific Ocean has 35 seas.

After the excitement of the past two days we are relaxing.  Brenda and I were reading our Kindle’s fairly early and David went for a run but most appeared to sleep-in.  About 11:30 we walked 5 km to town for lunch.  Most of the walk was along the beach which was almost deserted.  Very nice to have it to ourselves. This afternoon we’ll do more reading and swimming, assuming the others leave the Irish pub at a decent hour.
