The scenery is beautiful, but that's when trouble comes in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The water began to enter the info diving mask, which was almost past the nose, which made An Qingju, a novice, feel very nervous. There was also some water in the snorkel, and although I said "two" loudly according to the coach's method, there was always some water that could not be discharged, and when I breathed, it was like the uncomfortable feeling when I breathed with phlegm in my throat.

At this time, the water depth under his feet was 2-3 meters, and An Qingju wanted to try to stand up straight in the water, but because of his poor swimming skills and the limited buoyancy of the buoyancy bar, he could not maintain his balance, so he could only reluctantly raise his head, and then bury his head back in the water, and he couldn't adjust the mask at all.

At this time, a small boat drove over and said to An Qingju, "Are you No. 16, it's time for you to dive." An Qingju glanced at Yunluo and An Qingju's boat, there was still some distance, and hurriedly accelerated the speed of progress.

The situation got worse, the salty taste of the sea water irritated An Qingju's throat, and he wanted to cough but had to control the amplitude, otherwise he could only inhale more seawater. And the increased amount of exercise made An Qingju feel an urgent need for air, and he only felt stuffy in his chest. At this time, An Qingju really thought of the preciousness of life, but he couldn't let himself explain it here.

So, by adjusting the speed of the advance, I finally got to the side of the boat. grabbed the escalator and jumped out of the water, took a deep breath at the moment of taking off the mask, and didn't want to suck the water of the mask into his nose.

●After a little relaxation on the deck, the rest of the crew also boarded the ship one after another. At this time, the crew began to help Yunluo and An Qingju put on diving equipment: they tied lead blocks around their waists, carried diving vests and oxygen cylinders on their bodies, and then sat at the stern of the boat and waited.

After a group of people are all fully dressed. Sit at the stern of the boat and face the sea and start to enter the water one by one. The diving vest has an inflatable device, and the instructor will first open the valve to fill the tank with sufficient air, and then ask you to bite into the respirator, and the instructor will shout "one, two, three". Then you're pushed into the sea, and it feels like throwing sacks into the water when you're plugging a flood.

After slapping his head into the sea, countless bubbles appeared around him, and the buoyant man with the help of the vest floated on the surface of the sea. At this time, the instructor swam over and began to deflate the vest, and the real dive began.

After going down to the water, the breathing apparatus is much smoother than when I was on the shore just now, and I can breathe very naturally. The coach took An Qingju to a depth of about 1 meter and asked An Qingju to hold on to a cable to keep his balance. Then float up and bring the rest of the group down.

The color of the water begins to darken here, and the small particles floating in the water can be clearly seen in the sunlight, and from time to time some fish swim over to take a look, and the only sound that comes from the ears is the sound of their regular breathing and the sound of bubbles when exhaling. One thing to keep in mind here is that you always have a normal breathing rate in the water, otherwise it may cause damage to your lungs.

I waited here for a long time, and later I learned that LD choked on a mouthful of water after entering the water at that time, and it was not good to adjust. Eventually gave up diving.

The coach took the remaining 4 people and repeated the steps just now every time he dived: ear pressure and confirmation of the status of the players. In the process. An Qingju was a little careless, and accidentally inhaled a mouthful of seawater, but fortunately he finally controlled it after coughing a few times, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

At a distance of about 4 or 5 meters, the instructor began to let Yunluo and An Qingju each practice the four movements they learned on the boat. One of the most exciting actions is to take the respirator out of the mouth and throw it away, then put it back in the mouth, drain the water, and resume breathing.

A series of actions is completed. Yunluo and An Qingju continued to dive down to a depth of 7 meters along the rope and came to a large coral reef. Here, the coach took Yunluo and An Qingju to the bottom of the sea one by one, and everyone knelt on the sand with their arms on their shoulders to maintain their balance, and after everyone was together, they began to tour around the coral reef under the guidance of the coach. Over here. Yunluo and An Qingju found a giant mussel with an opening big enough to fit their legs in.

The coach motioned for everyone to touch it, and it was a little interesting to close it when you touched its shell. Later, it was learned that this giant mussel can weigh up to 90 kilograms and lay at least one billion eggs each time. The reef is home to a number of fish, most notably clownfish, as well as anemones, jellyfish and other creatures.

As the diving time increased, the dry compressed air in the cylinder made An Qingju's mouth dry, but fortunately, Yunluo and An Qingju's diving time had come, and a group of people returned to the water with the instructor. After coming up, I hurriedly looked for LD, and found that LD was floating not far away, and my heart was relaxed.

After changing clothes, it's time for lunch. Lunch is mainly cold, with shrimp, beef, ham, salad, bread and so on, and chicken wings are hot dishes. After a hearty meal, Yunluo and An Qingju's boat began to head towards their second destination, Hastingsreef.

It may be the reason for taking seasickness medicine, coupled with a morning of activities, Yunluo and An Qingju were a little sleepy, and they arrived at Hastingsreef in half a sleep. After the boat stopped, An Qingju learned the lesson of the morning, picked a life jacket on the boat and put it on his body, picked up a noodle, and jumped into the sea.

Although the water depth under the feet is 2 or 3 meters, it is better than a leisurely stroll, which is exactly "people are heroes, life jackets are guts". It is highly recommended that friends who are not good at water wear one.

Back to the point, this sea area can really be described as brilliant, the sea color is scattered, and the colorful coral reefs are connected together, blue, red, pink, white, yellow, colorful. The shapes of corals are even more varied: some resemble peacocks, some resemble swaying branches; Some are like clusters of flowers.

Some are round like mushrooms, while others are like antlers; It is indescribable, forming a natural art picture of a variety of postures and peculiar and spectacular. There are a lot more fish than Michael Mascay (but think about it, there are thousands of waterfowl living on that island). With the exception of butterflyfish, damselfish, angelfish, and clownfish, most of them are unnamed fish.

There are also medium-sized giant mussels and black sea cucumbers, An Qingju and LD are moving forward while watching, sometimes passing on the top of the coral, and the two of them keep pointing out the beautiful fish they see to each other, which is really dizzying and pleasantly surprised. The two of them swam in a big circle around the sea. Still not enough.

At this time, I heard the boat shouting that the last viewing boat was about to leave, so I got on the boat and continued to enjoy the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef in another way.

The bottom of the observation boat is made of transparent glass, so there is no reflection from the water surface, and you can see the bottom of the sea at a panoramic view. At this time, you don't have to think about anything else except quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery, and you don't have to do anything. I wish time had stood still. The viewing boat took Yunluo and An Qingju around for a while, and finally returned to the Seastar.

After a cup of hot tea, feeding the fish on the boat, and resting for about 30 minutes, Yunluo and An Qingju's boat began to return. Take one last look at these beauties and keep them firmly in your memory. The voyage back was still smooth, there was not even a bit of undulation in the hull, and no one was seasick from the beginning to the end.

To be able to swim the Great Barrier Reef in such perfect weather, thank God so much. And then I heard a message after arriving in Sydney. It is even more so that Yunluo and An Qingju sighed again and again for the luck of this trip!

The boat returned to the pier at about 4:30 a.m., and the tourists came to the deck, where the instructor began to hand out commemorative certificates for today's dives. At this time, there was a cruise ship from another company returning, and the coach asked everyone, how was it today? Everyone says perfect, excellent.

Then the coach said: "If that's the case, then An Qingju will ask everyone again later, and everyone should make the loudest noise." so that the people in that boat know how well Yunluo and An Qingju played." As a result, the boat of Yunluo and An Qingju let out a tidal wave of cheers, and the day's journey came to a perfect end.

It's still early. The four of them went to the pool in Cairns for a while, and then they just wandered around the city. I thought of eating at a Japanese restaurant that I missed yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be closed on Monday, so I ran for nothing. So I decided to continue eating instant noodles, so I happened to go to an Asian food store and chatted with the manager for a while. I have a certain understanding of the income of the Australian people.

In Australia, the minimum wage for adults per hour is $20, which is about $3,000 a month. Some Australians only work on weekends, and because the salary is double at this time, three days of work is enough. The white guy at the cashier in the store worked while traveling. The salary for a week is about $800.

And the manager here is a guy from Xinjiang, because Keynes belongs to a remote area, and the company gives a higher salary, 1,800 dollars a week, so he came here to work.

Back at the hotel, I had an instant noodle dinner, plus the sausage I bought the day before and the salmon I bought today, which was also hearty. After eating, pack up your luggage and go to bed early, and you have to catch an early plane tomorrow.

I got up early today, at 4 o'clock everyone had gathered in front of the hotel, the taxi was very punctual, and it took 10 minutes for Yunluo and An Qingju to arrive at Cairns Airport. The plane took off at 5:20 and slept all the way to Sydney, and at 9:15 the plane landed at Sydney Airport.

Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, was a wilderness more than 200 years ago. After two centuries of hard work, it has become Australia's largest city, covering an area of 2,400 square kilometres, located on a low hill around Jackson Bay, named after the then British Home Secretary Viscount Sydney.

Sydney in a broad sense, the so-called Greater Sydney, includes the city of Sydney and 44 nearby small cities, covering an area of more than 12,000 square kilometers and a population of about 4.2 million, accounting for more than one-tenth of the entire Australian population. Sydney plays an important role in Australia's national economy, accounting for about 30% of Australia's gross domestic product.

Sydney is located on the southeast coast of Australia, where the climate is pleasant, the summer is not hot, the winter is not cold, the sunshine is abundant, and the rainfall is abundant. Sydney receives about 1,200 mm of precipitation a year, with an average temperature of 21C in summer (December to February) and 12C in winter (June to August).

There are many places to visit in Sydney, the more famous ones are the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Circular Quay, Macquarie Square, Harbour (also known as Darling Harbour), museums, art galleries, and large and small national parks. However, the best thing to visit in Sydney is the beaches.

Sydney's beaches are dotted with styles. The more famous beaches include Bondibeach, Manlybeach, Coogeebeach, Watsonbay, Rosebay, Doublebay, Nielsenpark, Balmoral, etc.

When I left the airport, my friend was already waiting at the airport, and I got in the car and went straight home. My friend made a pot of millet porridge and a plate of mustard, which is really a long-lost delicacy! After a little rest at home, the friend drove Yunluo and An Qingju to the hotel where the friend was going to stay, where Yunluo and An Qingju were waiting for another friend of the friend.

Then go to the Sydney casino for a buffet lunch. Lunch seems to be 35 dollars / person, the friend please, a full meal.

In the afternoon, the friend drove Yunluo and An Qingju around the city and saw some famous scenic spots, but Yunluo was a little out of state, groggy, probably due to fatigue caused by days of travel. I won't write much today, please watch the film.

The Queen Victoria Building (QVB), designed by the famous British designer Geemcrae, was completed in 1898, the building itself is a domed Romanesque structure, originally used as a market and offices, the building itself began to collapse in the 1960s and 1970s.

There were plans to demolish this remarkable historic monument to make way for a civic center and underground car park. Thankfully, careful restoration work has transformed the seven-storey building into a historic tourist attraction and a beautiful shopping mall, with a glass dome in the center at the top, and a 200-metre-long tower that occupies the entire block.

There are more than 180 shops, cafes and restaurants, and the four main floors are fronted by elegant Victorian-style shops. Pierre? Cardin once praised QVB as "the most beautiful mall in the world".

When I woke up this morning, the first thing my friend said was that you are so lucky. What's going on? Friends said that Cairns is coming today with a tropical storm, which has not happened in 160 years, the airport has been closed, and the residents have begun to evacuate. Is this true, it was still sunny and sunny when I left the day before yesterday.

Later, I checked the information, and sure enough, "Tropical Storm Yasi (Yasi) formed, and then quickly developed into a Category 4 tropical storm, reaching the Category 5 (Highest Grade) red tropical giant storm that has not been encountered in the history of North Queensland." (To be continued.) )
