crocs,birds and waterfalls

Woke up and took one last shower outdoors and decided it was time to head to cape tribulation. The humidity is killing me, although all the locals say its just beautiful, and that i should have been here a month ago for hot and humid.

We headed north to cape tribulation. You have to take a ferry across a croc infested river. Once across you are thrown into the rainforest. Laurie was in LOST, JURRASIC PARK Heaven. The rainforest is beautiful. We did a bunch of forest walks and then made it out to the cape. We turned around and headed to the daintree.

In daintree we did a croc boat trip, which laurie pulled me into kicking and screaming. The humidity was wearing on me, and I had a caffeine headache. I loved the trip more than everyone and even spotted a lizard. I was praised by the boat captain. We saw, birds, pythons, crocs and cattle. Laurie loved the welcoming swallows, who would fly next to the boat.

We decided to head back to cairns and check out the waterfalls.
We asked for are same dog smelling room at the hostel. After talking to the front desk put our ac on and i was in heaven.

Next day we headed out. we drove up a mountain , winding around , we both felt nauseous . At the top of the mountain we hit the tablelands, and i was back loving australia. The humidity was gone and it was cool. We hit our first waterfall milla, milla. I dove in to the ice cold water and swam around. Laurie was too cold and did not come in. Next water fall was beautiful, zilla. You could not swim in this one or the last one of the circuit, but they were all beautiful. We had lunch in a little town, and then decided we needed to head back so we could turn in the car by five.
On the way back we saw josephine falls. I asked laurie do you want to go. SHe made a last second choice of yes, and so i hauled ass down the back roads to get there. We speed walked down the path to the falls, and found the most gorgeous swimming hole and water falls. There were huge rocks that the water fall had carved our and there were two parts to the falls. Laurie found a way to get up the rocks and next thing we know everyone was climbing the rocks and sliding down the moss covered rocks in the falls. we lost track of time were having so much fun. We ran back to the car in our flip flops, and sped for cairns. We were not sure if we could make it to budget in time. We had to be there by 5 15. we made it there filled up with gas at 5:12. We walked back drinking beers in the street. took a shower did laundry and walked what felt like an hour to dinner at a nice little korean place. we wanted vegetarian indian but when we got there the building was condemned. we took a taxi home. I took another shower, since i sweat through all my clothes on the walk.
woke up today and headed to the airport. We are back in sydney and i pick up my longboard tomorrow night. one more full day in australia and we are off to new zealand.
