We woke up to scattered showers, which was definitely disappointing. The gloomy weather coupled with the rough choppy waters (which caused problems for many people on our boat) had people a little disillusioned with what was promised to be a day of fun. But once we made landfall at Green Island, people started to get a little color back in their cheeks, the rain stopped, and several of us ventured out for some snorkeling off the shore.

Here we had a multitude of activities to choose from, including scuba diving, snorkeling, taking a ride on a semi-submarine, or viewing fish from the underwater observatory. My personal favorite was taking the scuba-doo down to the bottom of the reef. For those of you that are wondering, the scuba-doo was basically an underwater scooter that we were able to drive around. Definitely a highlight of the trip.
After an afternoon on the water, we returned to the shore and had our farewell dinner at a churascaria. We're all trying to get a few winks in before our wake-up call at 3:00 here in a few hours. We have a 5:30 flight to Brisbane and from there we head back home to the U.S.
All good things must come to an end, and like most good things, the end has come too soon.
