KD Trip Down Under

Monday, November 12 Palm Cove – Rain Forest Walk

Let's go for a walk in the jungle

     Diana and I had run out of milk, so we couldn't have cereal; and bread, which meant no Aussie Brekky or even bread and jam. We've always got the fixin's for oatmeal, but somehow that didn't appeal to either one of us, so we drove to the shopping center to find something to eat. Since it was only 6:30 am nothing was officially open, but a bakery there offered to sell to us if we had exact change. Do we have exact change? We've got around $60 in coins in the ash tray, not as much as you'd think since Oz does have one and two dollar coins, but we were pretty sure we could cover it. So we bought a couple large croissants and went back to the campground, and had them with coffee.

    We met C&A in their room around 9, then spent the next couple hours trying to figure out what to do with ourselves for the next few days. Didn't come up with anything definitive, but we knew we were just spinning our wheels in the apartment, so we headed off in their car up to the rain forest on the coastal range.

We did get a little rain from time to time

Where do you want me to stand?

Now this is how you pose for a photo

     We got back near sunset, glad to have a couple cold beers, followed by leftover pasta, salad and a little wine. Everything in moderation I always say. We discussed our plans with a bit more discipline, then Diana and I walked back to our tent and went to bed.
