Thursday 4th May

After farewelling Mary and Graeme, we headed off for the Daintree and Cape Tribulation in mosquito proof clothing, reeking with "eau de Mr Bushman's". The day was gray and wet but that didn't deter us from the Canopy boardwalk of the Daintree. We have seen so much rainforest lately that we are rainforested out so we were quite excited when we finally saw a cassowary and 3 chicks on the road to Cape Trib. We also found a cafe where the rainforest meets the sea. We had hoped to do the Bloomfield 4WD circuit but the roads were closed due to rain. It doesn't stop some people though. We met some guys who had been up to the Bloomfield falls and they said the water was rising on the way back so that it went over their bonnets! They tried to talk us into going ahead but we decided it was too early in the trip to risk our lives in crocodile infested waters. We headed back to a nice caravan park in Wonga Beach for the night. Cathy finally got to finish her next book "Memoirs of a Geisha" which she enjoyed very much.
