Cairns and the Daintree Rainforest

After the desert, we flew to Cairns and took a drive up the coast to the rain forest. It rained a lot there! But it was soothing rain -- torrential, but warm.
We toured the forest and then took a tour on the Daintree River, where we saw crocodiles and snakes. At one point, we saw a snake eating a tree frog. Not good for the frog.


Can you spot the spiders in these pictures? They were huge!!! As big as my hand.


Two days of relaxing in the rain forest and we moved on to the best part of the trip -- The Great Barrier Reef.
