Another 7am start today! We were picked up from the hostel and driven north. First stop was at Daintree Village where we grabbed some breakfast and then were taken out on a Crocadile Cruise in search of some crocks... Not one showed it's face, very dissappointing! Although after hearing many horror stories and how they eat dogs like McDonald's burgers, maybe not so dissappointing, haha!
After that we piled back on the bus and drove up to the Rainforest - we drove on the coastal route so the scenerary was pretty amazing and helped with the long drive. We could get out a couple of times to take some pics and were told to keep our eye out for a Cassowary (google it!!) they just roam around and are very scary looking birds!
Once at the rainforest we were guided through and given the history on everything, which was very interesting and the views were really spectacular! I was scared of putting my arms out as spiders and alsorts dangling from everywhere, haha! It was soooooo humid, but not complaining, loving the weather!
Before we stopped for lunch we headed to the beach (didn't go in because of jelly fish and croc warning!) but the beach was gorgeous, so just sat and chilled for a bit! After lunch we then headed south - stopped off for some rainforest Ice Cream, Daintree Wild Zoo where we finally got to see a croc and a number of Wallaby's and a Kangaroo, yay!!! And then the last stop, the best bit as so hot, we stopped at Mossman Gorge. A fresh water pool and went for a swim :-)
Once back, quick change and we all headed out to the craziness that is Gilligans bar!
I can't believe I have only been here two days! What I have done so far has been pretty amazing and I still have sooooo much more to see and do, loving it :-)
Having a chilled day tomorrow, check Cairns out, sunbath and plan rest of my route to Sydney!
