Friday 9th November

When we woke we could see we were in the middle of the rain forest. After breakfast we hiked alongside the Mossman River up to Fig Tree Rapids and back. We then drove north to the Daintree River and took an eco electric boat tour and saw salt water crocs and learned about the mangrove. After taking a cable ferry across the river we drove to a lookout, had an ice cream and drove back to Cairns. We had asked for a budget airport hotel. They gave us a flat complete with kitchen, living room and washing machine. We're now half way through the trip.
