As you've probably noticed, Natasha's been doing most of the blogging, mainly because I've been laid out with a nasty cold since last Tuesday. I've got some longer posts coming, mainly about our theatre adventures so far. Without even trying, we've so far managed to see three homegrown Australian productions, with one more to come at the end of the month, and they've all been fabulous, in both senses of the word.
Some quick observations, though:
1. Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef is just about exactly as amazing as you could possibly imagine. Check out Natasha's photos to get an idea of how awesome it is. And, as Natasha's video shows, I delivered on my promise of a shark attack. Promises made, promises kept!
2. It is possible to snorkel while your lungs are being scraped raw by a persistent cough and your head feels like it's going to explode every time you swim underwater, but I wouldn't recommend it.
3. Multiple doses of Sudafed and sheer willpower can hold off an illness for about a day, but you'll pay for it the next day.
4. Your television programming choices in Cairns on a Saturday afternon: cricket, two ballets, lawn bowling and race cars. We chose the cricket.
5. I'm still trying to figure out the rules to cricket.
6. It is better be sick where it's warm than healthy where there's a foot of snow on the ground.
7. The real reason I'm excited to be in Cairns.
