2 Crazy Sheilas

So today was another day of getting up very early, which proved to be a little difficult as Miranda went to the hostel bar last night and took advantage of their $5 cocktails! No no no it wasn’t that bad, but I tell you the loss of sleep is really catching up to me!

Anyway we woke to another cloudy day and hopped on our day-tour bus and headed north to the Daintree River where we sampled some special daintree tea before going on a crocodile boat tour. It was anice ride on the Daintree river up and down it, but the crocodiles we not as exciting as the last we had seen in Darwin. After our croc cruise we headed to a boardwalk trail names the Marrdja boardwalk (maardja meaning rainforest in an aboriginal language) in the Daintree National Forest, it took us through thick canopies of many different types of trees, palms and ferns. After we headed to Cape Tribulation for lunch and a quick stroll on the beach. We were pushing for time so Miranda and I dissapointedly snaps a few quick pictures of the beautiful Cape Trib beach and collected some sand and headed back to the bus. Our next stop took us to the Mossman Gorge where we viewed a rocky river that weaved in and out of the rainforest. The last stop of the day was at a small wealthy town named Port Douglas with numerous shops lining the street. We were only given a half hour in the city so Miranda and I grabbed a quick ice cream cone and oggled at the many shops we wished we had time to stop at. We both decided that we could spend the whole day window shopping in the quaint little town. After our stop in Port Douglas we were taken back to Cairns.

Tonight, being our last night in Cairns and also being that our friend from the Red Center tour is in town, we are planning to go out and have a few drinks and head to bed to wake early and head south, where I still don’t know. I maybe should look?

Anyway, I hope you are all still reading this as I am trying to get things updated immediately!
