Being A Tourist - Day 9

Cape Tribulation can be easily described in one word. Paradise. Set in the Daintree Rainforest, you emerge from the trees straight onto the beach and it just takes your breath away and the only words you can manage are, "Fuck me, that's pretty!"

But whilst its probably one of the most amazing places on Earth don't bother visiting if you're scared of salties, jellyfish, killer spiders or large, flightless birds with claws that can rip your guts out or you'll probably spend the entire time curled up in the corner of your room weeping gently. It is advisable whilst visiting Cape Tribulation to carry a big stick.

Rainforest Meets Reef

You also have to get used to being permanently damp, its either so humid that merely breathing makes you sweat like a blind lesbian in a fish shop or its pissing down with the kind of rain that Manchester would be proud of. But still, I love it here.

Saturday however was a write off. We ate some food, I topped up my alcohol levels and promptly caught up on some sleep.
