My East Coast adventure has officially started now and I kicked things off with a jungle and river tour in the Daintree National Park - the worlds oldest rainforest. What a way to start...
It wasn't the most exciting trip I have booked but it was still incredible. The rainforest was like nothing I have ever seen before and the beach at Cape Tribulation was stunning as well. We desperately wanted to go in the sea but were informed we did so at our own risk, the risk being a 90% chance you would get stung by a jelly fish, so we decided against it. We were also taken to the Wildlife Habitat where I had kangaaroos eat out of my hand and held a koala :-) . B the way, koalas smell really bad :-\ . There was also a bit of excitement when we were walking around looking at all the birds as one of the species is apparently very friendly and decided to follow us. One of the birds in particular took a liking to an american girl I met. For a while we weren't sure if she was ever going to get off the walkway as the bird seemed to have her cornered. Eventually she made a run for it, but lost a flip flop in the process. I was then volunteered to go on the flip flop rescue mission which turned out harder than I expected. At first I was concerned, from the evil started the bird was giving me, that I wouldn't get the shoe without being pecked. Secondly, once I had the shoe giving it back was a struggle as the bird had decided to follow me, meaning the owner of the shoe wouldn't come close enough to take it. We did however manage to escape in the end and she was reunited with her flip flop :-) .
Back in Cairns in the evening I met up with the girls after dinner for a drink. It was a lovely chilled out evening sitting between the lagoon swimming pool and the beach... and then the vodka came out... and then free champagne for ladies was discovered... and then...
