The final day in Bali was more sightseeing west of Denpasar with a supper in Sanur before a late flight which for some unknown reason stops in Darwin for 2 hours at 3am. We realised we were back in the modern world when 2 coffees cost $13.00!
Arrived in the Daintree Rainforest and did not do much as we were pretty jetlagged.
Yesterday was a special one. We set out from Port Douglas on the Calypso headed for the Great Barrier Reef. 15-20 knots had been forecast so we were chomping on the ginger (which doesn't help because if you are going to be sick you might as well face it) and we were going about 35 miles offshore.

We need not have worried because it was the most perfect day, flat calm and there were only 20 in total on the boat. This was one of those bucket list items we have talked about for years, snorkelling on the GBR and we were not disappointed. We visited 3 different sites spending about 45 minutes in the water at each, all were different. Bermuda diving is excellent but for variety, particularly of coral this is better. We wore stinger suits as this time of year the waters get inundated with jellyfish, although we did not see any.
