Helolo everyone! We're now in Mission Beach which is extremely beautiful, we were on the beach all of yesterday afternoon and it was practically deserted, but it's really nice and has lots of coconuts along the beach and palm trees! unfortunately you can't go in the sea as its stinger season but we might go for a swim in the nets they put out today!

Anyway just to update you on the rest of cairns, on the Saturday we went snorkelling on the Great Barrier reef which was pretty amazing! saw so many fish but no Nemos :( then we got lunch on the boat which i could not partake in due to my sea sickness but Leti's looked really good! ( I really didn'e enjoy the journey back on the boat either). Had a few quiet days around the big lagoon that is on the sea front, (staying in the shade though due to the still very obvious sunburn!) then on Monday we went into the Rainforest! we got a pretty good deal of going up on th Sky Rail which is just cable cars which take you up over the tree tops and there were really great views looking back over Cairns and over the Rainforest! at the top was Kuranda Village which has markets and restuarants and we went into Koala land where we saw Koalas surprisingly enough! also got to hand feed Kangaroos!! we cam back down to Cairns on the Kuranda scenic Railway which goes right through the rainforest and gives you spectacular views of loads of waterfalls, so i think we took about a million pictures!

We left Cairns Yesterday on the Oz Experience bus which leaves ridiculously early, but it did stop for breaky and then took us to a commercial crocodile farm where we got a guided tour and they fed these enormouse crocodiles infron of us!!! we also got to feed the Kangaroos there and got to hold, baby crocs, snakes, lizardy dragon things and dingos!, (still can't believe i held a dog!) then we arrived at Mission beach and the Hostel owners came to pick us up and took us to see the skydivers land on the beach, Also took us out again last night on a little tour to see the wild wallabys!

Staying here for a few days and then we are off to magnetic Island and Townsville which also looke really nice! Hope everyone back home is good! Miss you all loads!
Lots of love char and Leti!! xxxxxxxx( will try and get some pictures up soon!)
