Great Barrier Reef!

Today was one of the absolute best days I've ever had!  We went to the Great Barrier Reef and it was totally fantastic!!! I don't have any pictures on my phone and probably won't have time to upload everything until we get to New Zealand in a few days, but just take my word for it: magnificent!  Straight up magic.  Not sure yet how great our Go Pro footage is, but if it's one tenth of what we saw with our eyeballs it'll be incredible.  Another check off the bucket list!
Before GBR, we went to Green Island (also beautiful) and while there we went to a crocodile zoo where they house the largest AND oldest crocodile in the world (over 16 feet long and weighing over 1 ton AND more than 110 years old). We actually got to watch the crocs being fed and it was the most terrifying and exhilarating thing I've ever seen in person (besides a great white shark swimming towards me).  Here's Cassius:
Yikes!
Tomorrow we take a tour of Daintree Rainforest, which should be pretty impressive.  We shall see!
