Just another quick note!
Tully-
So we thought as we had sooo much time to spare after racing up north that we would spend two nights at the location for the white water rafting! upon arrively it became clear many of the residants were young travelers hoping to extend there visas by either banana picking or working with sugar cane farmers! needless to say the were messy and smelly!! we got to tully on the sunday and it was like walking through a ghost town! everything except the backpackers bar and an internet cafe both of which we made a brief appearance.
The Rafting itself was fantastic!! However on the third rapid we managed to capsize.. we're only the third boat to ever capsize in that spot!! Lauren was rather shaken up, had a tight chest and badly bruised her arm (we made a trip to the hospital just to be safe!) The video we have of it shows that she was flung under the already capsized boat! and Laura and Nat managed to enter the rapids pretty much unscathed with minor bruises! needless to say our guide took us straight for lunch so we could recover! The afternoon was loads of fun jumping of big boulders!!! however we must say we were all a little bit nervous of the rapids after the morning! and one other boat did capsize so we didn't feel too embarrassed!
Mission beach:
Mission beach was lovely we chilled out, lay on the beach. we did enquire about sky diving but with lauren's arm and the cost we price battled to no avail! so we decided against it and just had time to relax and soak up the good weather whilst it was with us! laura spotted an actor from home away which pleased her :).
Babinda:
Just a stop off point however it allowed us to see josephine falls and boulders at babinda which is a fresh water swimming hole, it was raining and cloudy so we didnt spend much time in the water!!
Cape tribulation!
We arrived in cape and decided to chill out some more on the first night! went for cake and hotchocolate! we booked to do our jungle surfing for the following day.
We enjoyed the jungle surfing was gresat fun however we've all been to go ape before for laura's b'day last year so we were some what disapointed with the cost in relation to the length of time! but it was a good afternoon. we then went over the the internet cafe and bumped into two lads from our fraser trip so we went and had drinks with them after dinner!
We're currently in Port Douglas and have had a nice walk around the markets today and planning either retail; therapy or beach day tomorrow!
Hope you are all well see you soon
