We left Tully after breakfast and headed to beautiful Bramston Beach, just north of Innisfail, recommended to us by a couple of volunteers from Port Douglas.
We spent a relaxing day walking along the beach. Where we were camped we could see the waves from our caravan.
The following day we called into Cairns and picked up some groceries then headed to Palm Cove and Port Douglas. Nice places but a bit too trendy and busy.
We have arrived at Daintree Village and I have come down with a terrible cold or flu and I feel rotten. We are going to take a few days break here to recuperate.
It is a gorgeous place and the weather is being kind to us.
Our first activity was a boat cruise on the Daintree River. The minute we left the shore we spotted a giant crocodile sunning himself on the opposite shore right across from the camping ground and another even bigger one a bit further along. I’m glad we are on high ground but any water makes me nervous. I am even going to keep a check on the plug hole in the showers.
Spent the next day just sitting in the sun.
Today we drove to Cape Tribulation and back. I made a navigational miscalculation and we ended driving up the (4WD only) Bloomfield track a way. We had lunch at the Cape then made our way back to the village calling in to all the rainforest walks and lookouts along the way. It was a lovely day but we are tired.

Tomorrow we leave the Daintree.
