Well, let’s start with Cairns where I met Fran, an Irish girl. She and I spent a day exploring the Great Barrier Reef. What an amazing experience! We went snorkeling. We saw the most superb fish and coral! Then, guess what! We saw whales! A mum and its baby… How fantastic! Really cool!
The next day we went to a Koala Zoo where we had one of our funniest experiences _ we met Elise, a pet koala who loved cuddles! Now Fran was hugging Elise and calling her “sweet darling Elise” in the most ridiculous way, when Elise decided to poo! I cracked up and took photos!!! I was so happy “sweet darling Elise” didn’t do that when I was cuddling her!
