The 7'th wonder of the world

I know it's been alot of post's lately but soone it's all over :( And our blogg will be nothing but a memory faiding away. But for now we still got lot's to tell u so bare with us. This time it's about one of the 7 natural wonders of the world & one of the most spectacular sights we'll ever see. :) It's lager then the great wall of China and the only living organism on earth visible form space. Do you know what we'r talking about ??? It's the reef as the local calls it. :) :) The GREAT BARRIER REEF is built up by over 3000 different coral reef systems & with it's spectacular marine life it's a sight we'll never forget. Spec since we got to both snorkel & dive in it. And it's something that should be on your list over things to see/do. Even if u just stay on the boat or are 100 meters above in a chopper. An unique sight and a memory for life.

Anyway we had organised a reef daytrip boat sailing adventure as it's called witch is a family owned boat with one employeed diver. They had been doing this for over 25 years and where experienced as hell with the knowledge of all the good spots :) hehe sounds promising doesn't it? The 3 of them where awesome, friendly and we even got to rent wetsuits for free. :) naice naice we save money :)

Anyhow, we paid something like 135 dollars pr pers for a (dive with all inclusive) trip out to the reef with 20 other randoms. :) Mostly Danish people and some Swedish, Irish and so on. The small katamaran set sails for Upuolo Reef (2 hour sailing) where we would get the chance to jump in the wather. :) The sailing

went fast and on the way we got some instructions of where we where going to dive and what we could expect from the dive. :) Since we where surch a cool couple and the fact that one of the crew members is on his way to Norway/Finland we got to go alone with him. Soo freaking awesome. :)

So all geared up (almost as Betty is in the picture) we jumped in the wather witch hold about 27 degrees. Just 5 minutes into the dive we saw the king of the ocean. A shark bigger then all of us :) A white-tip shark, in his full lenght around 2 meters long. :) A strange feeling seeing the animal u have heard so much negativ about, just hanging out. Not dangerous at all, just curious like all other animals.

Unless of course you hit it, surprise it or do something really stupid and it's a good thing it's not dangerous since we saw 4 of them. A majestic animal who has no fear in the world except us. We also saw a tourtle and some other fishes like rainbow fish, parrot fish, and lots of coral life that amazes u like nothing before.
After 35 minuts of beeing a guest in the ocean we unfortenatly had to get out of the wather since we where running out of air. :( It's sad couse we could stay down there for a long time, at least until it get's dark. Thats when the sharks starts to get active so u dont want to be diving then since they might mistake u for a big ass seel.

So well up on the boat we got some food and got to know the rest of the guys on the boat. The time between the dive and the snorkel trip we just chilled out on the boat in the sun and just enjoying the day. :) The snorkel trip where also awesome :) we didn't see a shark but some turtles and the various marine life the coral provides u with. Just simply amayzing :)
I have to mention that on the way back the weather got pretty bad,people where trowing up and the waves washed over the boat. :) hehe So much for trying to get dry before arriving land again. But the coolest bit where that on a katamaran there is a net up front between the two sides where u can stay if the weather provides it. Well after some safety instructions from the captain I got to test it out for a while. :) Action junkie baby, hehe. But seriously when u have waves with full power washing over u while u desperately trying to hang on was not as funny as I thought it would be. There is a video of it and links will come in the next post. Check it out! Looks awesome. :)
Well anyway think thats it for this time guys, next time we probably will be in Auckland :) hope u guys are allright and we miss u :) See you later
