A Wet Start

We had a good flight from Brisbane to Cairns and a very pleasant man met us with a board saying Gwen and Duncan Bush on it and whisked us through the drizzle to Trinity Beach. Our apartment looked out on the surf with this lovely, if grey view. After an Italian meal we chose our bedroom - it was a two bedroom apartment with a very supportive kingsize bed which did wonders for my back. But the exciting bit was that we also had two bathrooms so I never had to wait for Duncan to finish, and he never had to wait for me to get my makeup on!
Next morning it was still raining so we thought it would be appropriate to visit the rain forest. they have a sky rail over 7km long which whisks you over the tops of the trees. It stops 3 times for you to get off and take a walk on boardwalks which weren't to slippery. Here we are amusing ourselves with the other people in the pod by taking photos of one another.

And here is the view out the window........

However we have to say the waterfalls were most spectacular, so we just had to laugh and make the best of a bad situation.

By the time we arrived in Karunda the rain had almost stopped so we set off to explore. More news tomorrow!
