Here Shell is in the protected swim area safe from the box jellyfish:
Ana and Scott, what's making these little balls of sand in the sand? Little white sand crabs?
We miss you Ana and Scott!
Shell and I then headed up to the oldest rainforest - The Daintree - where we checked into a 5-star resort called The Daintree Eco-Lodge. We stayed in cabin #3 which overlooked the pond and the restaurant we had breakfast at each morning and dinner the first night. I enjoyed breakfast - especially the new fruit of the rainforest that I was introduced to - called the abiu which has the texture of jelly but a nice soft sweet taste that is very refreshing.
The Daintree Eco-Lodge's rooms are beautiful, the setting is serene and since the patio is screened in we could sleep with the doors wide open and truly experience the sounds of the rainforest all night (the cicadas are very loud).
As we walked to the waterfall on the lodge's property along this pathway twisted with tree roots, I was caught off guard by I swear a dinosaur like out of Jurassic Park. It scampered across on two legs and looked like one of those little dragons in the movie. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a lizard or as we'd learn a few days later on a nightwalk at Cape Tribulation that it was a Boyd's Forest Dragon.
