Hola de nuevo.
Siento estar un poco limitado tecnologicamente pero de momento no os puedo poner fotos, a ver si el sabado cuando vuelva a Sydney lo hago.
I'm here since last monday in Cairns (for spanish people say keeeeeeerns)
Last two days have been quite busy in the jungle the whole day.

****Tuesday 7th nov: i expected to be a "wild" adventure but when i saw the "youg people" coming with me i said "ok, it is going to be a relaxed day" but not because we did so many things, going in a minibus with a guide telling us about everything.
1.- Mossman Gorge: a very nice area in the jungle very humid, nice river, and nice walkpath about 40 min.
2.- Cruise into Daintree river expecting to see a lot of crocodriles but no one in fact. Water is too hot for them and they prefer stay in the shadow. But nice views from the boat.
3.- Lunch close to the beach, lovely beach with coconuts trees BUT EMPTY because of the jellyfish (medusas) Do you remember what i told you about very dangerous jellyfish. We are in the jellyfish season and it is very dangerous. In some places they have a small net to protect an area and then ONLY THERE you can swim. This is the reason they have beautiful swimming pools very close to the see.
4.- Cape Tribulation, another lovely place but, in this case besides the jellyfish you also have cocodriles warning....so just for walking.
We did more stops but so quick and i will tell you in detail later when i go home jeje

****Wednesday 8th nov: Time to go to Kuranda with the Scenic Train, and old train line going from Cairns to Kuranda, a little village in the middle of the jungle, in a hill (384m) Lovely travel, views, tunnels, rainfalls, lookouts to the see, ...
The Village is small full of shops & bars, but it is quite goos for a jungle walkpath, i saw some animals, a big lizar which scared me a little bit.
I took the skyrail (funicular) 7,5km to another city with 2 stops in them middle. I was alone in the canibet enjoying the amazing landscape.
And.....i had my contact with aborigens, exactly with Tjapukai tribe. There is a small park where thay recreate their life. Dancing, food, tools, boomerangs...some videos very interesting (i tried with boomerang but i did pretty bad)

Tha's all folks
Tomorrow the Great Barrier Reef: i will go to Green Island and some sknorkelling...
See you
Jorge
