B&E Photography: Cairns Part 1

The drive to Cairns was long; about 9 hours. And, once again, we did it driving in the night preventing a wasted travel day. We checked in at our hotel at 3 am and crashed.
The first day we took it easy and just motored around town to get our bearings. The second day was great where we ventured just North of Cairns for a day trip into the Daintree Rain forest and Mossman Gorge. The rain forest was definitely awesome, just like a scene out of the movies. There were huge vines wrapped around trees that both clambered for sunshine. Many different varieties of Mushrooms sprouted here and there bringing colors from browns to reds to bright yellows. There were many spiders, literally the size of an adult male palm, littering trees and vines hoping to catch there next big meal. Small bridges crossed over streams that brought life to the parched ground where 98% of all rainwater is captured by the giant trees, vines, and palms. One stream we found had pooled into a small pond where we found several big fish, and to our astonishment, a freshwater eel!
After that we headed back to our hotel for an awesome dinner on the beach overlooking the jellyfish infested waters of beautiful Cairns. Days 1 & 2 were complete and they were awesome.
