第一次飛凱恩斯真的是超級難忘！  

It was a very unforgettable experience to operate my first flight to Cairns .  

 

這次來回都是服務商務艙，所以兩段都很輕鬆；而經濟艙的組員則累得半死，因為客人都相當要求難搞，紐澳班都是這樣的。這回和人超好的男老總以及香港阿姐及賓姐共事，客人很多也都選擇睡覺，吃東西的人不多，所以整趟班是爽的啦！
I was serving in Business Class to and from Cairns this time, so the job was easy for both sectors. As for the crews in Economy Class, they barely had time to rest because their passengers were so difficult to handle and quite demanding, which is common to most of New Zealand and Australian flights. For this Cairns flight, I was so lucky to work with a super nice male ISM, an easygoing Hong Kong FP and a Philippine SP; in addition, many of the J-Class passengers chose to sleep instead of requesting things to eat or drink, so this flight was a good one to me.


到了凱恩斯，我並沒有和其他同事結伴出遊，選擇一個人帶著相機到處走走拍拍，享受當地的美景和美食，哇~~好愜意喔！有組員一到飯店馬上就報名參加浮潛和遊船活動，我啊~因為是第一次來，先探個路，摸熟這裡的一切再說，下次來再來好好深度探險一番。  

When in Cairns , instead of going out with other crew members for fun, I opted to do some outings alone with my camera, enjoying beautiful views and great local food. That’s way too relaxing. Some of crews signed up together for snorkeling and cruise after we reached our hotel; but for me, well, since it’s my first time to come to Cairns, I’d better get familiar with everything here first before I give deeper exploration in Cairns a try next time when I come back again.  

 

一說到澳洲，大家想得到的不外乎是像「雪梨」、「墨爾本」、「布里斯本」等大城市，但「凱恩斯(Cairns)」您有聽過嗎？是的，這裡就是世界有名的大堡礁的主要所在，一個充滿各式水上和水中活動的熱帶度假盛地，是繼雪梨和黃金海岸後，澳洲最愛歡迎的觀光城市。這裡的自然資源豐富，有雨林、有海洋、有公園，使得這澳洲昆士蘭省的境內小城到處都充滿觀光景點，大堡礁就在附近而已喔！那麼啥是「大堡礁」呢？以下向大家稍微報告一下。詳細的大堡礁內容可就得讓諸位「親身」去體驗一下囉！  

When it comes to Australia , what pops into our mind is the big cities such as Sydney , Melbourne , Brisbane , etc. But have you heard about Cairns ? Yes, the world-famous Great Barrier Reef is mainly specific to Cairns, a tropical resort and the third most popular tourist city after Sydney and Gold Coast, where is home to a variety of marine activities. Cairns is rich in natural resources, including rainforest, ocean, and parks, forming a number of tourist spots in this small regional city in Queensland , Australia . “ Great Barrier Reef ” is just around the corner. But what the hell is the Great Barrier Reef ? Let me tell you about it in short in the following paragraph. If you want to know more about it, I suggest that you “personally” experience and find it out.  

 

大堡礁是世界上最大的珊瑚礁群，包含了兩千九百個大小礁島，綿延伸展可達2,600公里 (據報導，它比英國還大喔)。大堡礁在外太空可以看見，它是世上由活有機體所建構成的最大的單一構造體，由數十億以上稱為珊瑚蟲的有機小生物組成，時間長達六十萬年之久。在大堡礁內和其附近有數千種類的魚及其牠海洋生物棲息，形成了多彩的大堡礁景觀。 

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reef and islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometers (it is reportedly larger than England ). The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps have built the reef over the last 600,000 years. There are thousands of species of fishes and other marine creatures inhabited in and around the Reef, making a colorful Reef landscape.  

 

您知道嗎？每年好幾百萬遊客造訪大堡礁。當地有很多旅遊公司都有安排遊大堡礁的行程。如果您想來個大堡礁之旅，不彷嚐試來個浮潛、水肺潛水、一日遊船、坐直升機賞景、或搭空中纜車等活動。（有很多一日、二日、或三日的套裝行程供您選擇，每個行程都包含了水上活動、遊船和美食供應）  

You know what, there are millions of tourists traveling on the Great Barrier Reef every year. Many local tour companies in the Cairns region offer organized tours to the Great Barrier Reef . If you want to make a trip to Cairns , you can try snorkeling, scuba diving, day cruises, scenic helicopter flight, or skyrail cables. (There are many one-day, two-day, or three-day packages for you to choose from, which combines marine activities, cruise and dining)
