No, I did not the touch the butt. :( I just kept on swimming, swimming, swimming. [Finding Nemo reference]
The day is the best day out of the entire Journey Through the South Pacific trip because I got to swim in the precious waters of the Great Barrier Reef!!! \(^-^)/ Woot Woot! The water was clear as ice and thankfully tolerable enough to swim. I dislike cold water. There were schools of fish and the coral was very lively. The best part was just being able to realize I was actually swimming in one of the great wonders of the world! Now I can check off swimming in the Great Barrier Reef off my list. I want go back again someday because I did not see Nemo. So now I am adding to my bucket list is to see Nemo while snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef.
