Howdy all,
back to reality after a couple of weeks in FNQ.
Ren and I flew over for a few days before the big day to relax and get away from our little maggot Lee!
We arrived in
Cairns, picked up the Budget Hire 4by (Patrol, pitty) no offens Lionel, and headed for the
Daintree! With a quick stop in at
Port Douglas for a beer at the Court House Hotel of course. (Many stop ins occured at this lovely establishment during our stay!)
All I can say is absolute paradise!!! If you get a chance, stay at the Daitree Eco Lodge!
2 thumbs up to Kent at the
Daintree Eco Lodge for making our wedding day a stress free fabulous occasion. Thanks also for letting me and my motely mates make a bit of noise, sorry about the complaint!Image Could Not Be Found
The rain W51403 is certainly something to behold. Numerous activities included, swimming at
Mossman George, (thanks to Doug who gave us a bit of local knowledge, that secret spot was awsome, we went back twice), fishing on the
Daintree River with Jamie, your a champ, (even though I didn't catch a bloody thing, Ren was stoked with her hauls,) a helicopter flight over the rainforrest and Hinterland that blew our minds,and the
Bloomfield Track,to Cape Trib and on to
Cooktown. Ill do it again just go back and have a beer with the old fellas at the Lions Den Hotel! Characters to say the least!
Cooktown didn't really do it for us, but the drive back on the highway to
Mossman was a nice contrast to the lush rainforrest, it's hard to believe that cattle country, dry and desolate as it is , is just over the mountains. Man they needed some water!
