Friday January 25th - 3:30 p.m.




Hi All,

Today was a fun day! We started out at 8:45 a.m. took a bus to Kuranda and took a skyrail or Gondola up through the rainforest - what an amazing sight to see. We also got to see a waterfall while walking through parts of the forest. It has rained all day - but how perfect could that be while touring the Rainforest right. The skyrail went up 1,788 feet - FUN! We also got to learn about the culture of the aborigians (sorry I think I spelt that wrong) - very fasinating. I have lovely pictures of our day, but it is expensive to get on the internet in the hotel, so I will post later when we find a cheaper place :-) Time is flying by. Last night we ate dinner at the hotel and I had Grilled Jew Fish with sweet potatoes and roasted beets - the beets were actually very tasty. Tonight we may just stay at the hotel and enjoy happy hour at the bar and have dinner in the restuarant as it is still raining... After dinner there is supposed to be a great band in the bar so we may stay for that - or go to the casino... Tomorrow we tour the Flying Doctors and learn about that. Then fly to Sydney in early afternoon. Things are quite expensive here too. The language is funny here - for example they call Breakfast Brekkie and for diapers they call them Nappies. I'm loving the accent.... Well ta ta for now.
