Today we started at 8 o’clock in the morning our huge trip to Cape Tribulation ( 3 hours‘ drive). We drove along the seaside and we got to know winding streets in Australia. It was a very beautiful road with a lot of lookout points.
On our way to Cape Tribulation the weather wasn’t really bright, so we took some beautiful photos on our return. Our first destination was Cape Kimberley, a really beautiful beach, but unfortunately we were not allowed to swim because of salt-water-crocodiles and stingers.

maybe it’s better not to swim^^
So we didn’t spend much time over there, just had a quick look to take some photos. 🙂 Then we drove to the Blue Holes. These are very beautiful small lakes in the middle of the rainforest (are part of the Daintree Nationalpark). There we went for a swim and refreshed ourselves.
I tried to swing on a root like Tarzan, but the root crashed down before I started to swing, luckily.:) We took some nice photos and continued our trip to Cape Tribulation (that point, where the reef touches the rainforest :P). We had lunch over there and enjoyed the amazing Cape Tribulation Beach.

Luckily the weather changed from grey and cloudy to bright sunshine and we could tan in the sun. We spent about an hour on the beach, just lying down and being lazy. 🙂 Then we walked along the Marrja Botanical Walk (45 minutes) and saw some amazing plants.
On our way back we stopped at Port Douglas for some shopping in the mall, but I had forgotten my money, so we just had a quick look and I couldn’t buy anything (proud of me^^NOT).

So, never mind. Later on we passed Palm Cove (just had a short drive-through) and then, after a a two hours‘ drive, we returned home to Paul’s place. It was a lovely, very well-organized day, we saw lots of beautiful places and had wonderful conversations.
