Cairns & Cape Tribulation

13-15 february 2007

After spending the night on airplanes & Melbourne airport, I landed in nice & hot Cairns :) At the hostel I took a quick shower and then got my ass to the postoffice. F i N A L L Y got to send "snusen" to Marte and a package full of gifts :) home to Norway :) When that was done I went shopping :) in a japanese store I got dressed up in Kimonos with shoes and the girl working there even put my hair up :) fun experience :) in Australia.... Ha Ha After eating a very tasty burrito at a Mexican Restaurant, I went to the cinema. "Miss Potter" is a cute movie :)
The next day I was picked up 7:30 in the morning after only 2 hours sleep....so the start of my 2 day trip to Cape Tribulation was sleeeeepy :) but I did wake up for our first stop "Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary" very nice place :) Then we drove to the centre of Port Douglas. After almost falling a sleep again I went off the bus when it stopped and a short walk at Mossman Gorge -scary bridge!!!- before lunch. When we arrived at the river we jumped on a boat and saw a middle-sized crocodile on land, crabs in the mud, a frog in the tree, a young(small) crocodile and then big 4,5 meter long crocodile next to the boat... :) cool!!! :)
In Cape Trib I stayed at The Beach House - a jungle right down to the beach. Next day I enjoyed the jungle, beach and pool :) Back in Cairns I had some dinner before I went to the movies again. This time I watched the very good "Notes on a scandal".
