Sunset Cruise & Dining // Final night in Cairns (n˘v˘•)¬

Our final evening, we booked a sunset cruise to end our trip. The sunset would have been even more beautiful if there were no clouds, but it was still a lovely ride. 

We also had little snacks included too! 

And of course a glass of champagne to go with it. 

We thought we spotted a croc due to the rippling in the water, but it never showed up so we were left in a mystery. 

As you can tell I'm the better photographer here, so all the candid shots are always my partner in the and hardly me~

Once the sun had completely set, we were taken back to the docks and headed off to our restaurant that was included in the tour pack we purchased and it was called Dundees. 

For entree my partner ordered the soup of the day, which so happened to be seafood chowder. It was tasty and left us feeling warm and hearty. 

As for my entree, I ordered the Aussie Connection, which were skewered kangaroo and crocodile pieces served with Dundee’s special sauces. It was surprisingly well cooked, as the meats were not tough at all. 

As for our main we ordered th e pan seared Wild Barramundi with lemon beurre blanc, mango salsa on sweet potato. It was pleasantly fresh and delicious to have. 

I ordered the Linguini Carbonara in a bacon, garlic, shallot and egg cream sauce as I was craving pasta that night. The egg cream sauce was definitely something I hadn't tasted before and it was really good. 

Last of all, we ended our meal with dessert which both my partner and I had ordered the same one which was their Marshmallow pavlova served with passion fruit syrup. The fruit syrup made it a bit too sweet for my liking but the meringue was made really well!

Skydiving over the Great Barrier Reef .ﾟ☆(ノё∀ё)ノ☆ﾟ.

The following morning we were up quite early to head off to our skydiving tour! I have never done skydiving before, so my boyfriend encouraged me to do it and what better than to do it over the beautiful reefs! 

We did have to wait a while before it was finally our turn to get onto the plane and all. So I ordered some fish sticks to eat because I was getting pretty hungry!

After about 3 hours of waiting, it was finally our turn to get ready and jump off the plane! It was the most amazing and pretty scary experience but overall I really enjoyed it! I really had to thank my boyfriend, Mr Smiles for encouraging and pushing me to do this! You can watch my whole skydiving experience in the video below!

Reminiscence of Bagus Cafe // Cairns eats ϵ( ‘Θ’ )϶

After freshening up from our snorkelling adventure on Green Island, we headed out for dinner. We went to a place called Bagus Cafe, which offers traditional Indonesian food! We ordered our drinks, the Iced Es campur and iced te tarik (milk tea). Both were quite delicious I must say, especially the iced es campur! 

I cannot remember exactly what the dish my boyfriend, Mr. Smiles ordered but it was so delicious! The flavours of the peanut sauce went very well with the fresh ingredients used. Plus the serving portion was quite generous too!

I ordered the fish of the day and it was HUGE! It was grilled perfectly and the seasoning was really good. I think they used the Indonesian sauce ketjap to marinate the fish. 

The owners of the restaurants were realy nice people too, they made sure that we were enjoying our meal and also our time in Cairns! I would definitely come back here for their amazing Indonesian food!

Snorkeling on Green Island // Swimming with a Sea Snake & Moray Eel?! (*/ω＼*)

Continuing my adventure in Port Douglas, we were picked up by our coach early the following morning and headed off Cairns. As soon as we got to Cairns we had about 2 hours to spare before our next Snorkelling tour so we walked around the area and went for a coffee run. 

I ordered an iced coffee, which came with a white chocolate wafer stick. The drink itself was alright, but nothing special. 

We continued our walk around town until it was time to head to our Green Island tour.

We got to the docks on time, and there were a lot of Chinese tour groups and Japanese tourist hopping onto the boat to go to Green Island too.

Our tour was with Big Cats, where we get a return boarding ticket for the boat ride to Green Island and a buffet lunch when we arrive.

The boat ride to Green island was so beautiful! The water so clear and blue too!

I managed to catch a glimpse of a turtle splashing on the surface before diving back into the water, as we approached the island.

Once we got onto the island, Mr.Smiles and I took a few snaps and headed straight towards the buffet dining boat, while the Chinese tourist were taking photos and selfie's. This gave us enough time to beat the crowd.

However, when it was our turn to get our food, the Chinese tourist swarmed in and just pushed ahead of everyone else lining up, putting their faces right up against the food to smell it. They were incredibly rude, even the staff on the boat seemed annoyed because they were not listening to the rules.

Nevertheless, we ate quickly so we could get away from this crowd and enjoy our swim. Their curry was pretty good I must say!

We headed straight towards the beach once we were done with lunch and off we went for a snorkel and hoping to see a turtle or two this time round.

I was amazed yet slightly scared when I saw this school of fish. They were swimming in peacefully under the pier. 

The boyfriend, Mr.Smiles managed to capture an amazing shot of this yellow fish!

We even got to see this moray eel! It was  under the rock and decided to come out before noticing we were there. It swam back into the rock because they are quite shy creature. The one we saw was really big too! Kind of creepy looking but it was amazing! 

This was my second snorkel adventure and I have to saw it was so much more interesting because I got to see more sea life compared to the last one. We didn't see any turtles but I got to see a stingray, various fishes and even a school of them, moray eel and even a sea snake too! We just noticed a orangey snake-shape like creature swimming around, so we quickly swam away from it because, one, we didn't want to disturb it, two, I don't like snakes and three, all sea snakes are poisonous. At the end of the day we got back onto the boat and headed back to our hotel to freshen up for diner.

Today I really didn't do as much as I would of loved too..All I did was my studies and watched a few movies online. Last night I managed to watch Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, it was alright I suppose. It wasn't terrible but nor was it very engaging? The second movie I watched before I went to bed was the Good Dinosaur. I have to say it is one of the cutest animated movies I have watched so far. Within the first 20 minutes I was crying, 10 minutes later I was laughing! I really enjoyed the concept of the movie and it looked as if they used real life scenery and placed the animated characters into it. Anyway I highly recommend watching it if you haven't already, it's such a beautiful story!
