Cairns (aka. "Cans")

I have no idea why they spell the city with an 'r'...no one pronounces it! I guess with that logic we should spell Toronto, "Trono".
But I digress...

So, Cans...its hot, its rainy, the ocean is murky...not much going for it. Take a boat about two hours away from the coast and "ahhhh". You have mostly sunny skies, beautiful clear water and, really, the only reason to go to Cairns, The Great Barrier Reef! We went for a dive/snorkel on our last day there and it was really...well ...great!

We spent Easter weekend just relaxing at a place called (now get this) Nimrod Resort Apartments. Yes, Nimrod.
I think one of our favourite moments was when the shuttle bus dropped us off at the hotel. He's going, "Nimrod? Nimrod?" and we reluctantly respond "Yeah, that's us."
