It rained heavily today, so we missed a part of our tour of an aboriginal village...although the weather held long enough for the girls to be taught how to throw a boomerang!! Then the rain started to POUR!! So got on the gondola and went up the hill and stopped at various spots of the rainforest along the way.
This was the first stop... with a ranger doing a tour of the rainforest.
Hard to see, but this is a spider web with a spider in it...
Closer view 'cuz the last pic didn't do it justice...
A weird tree...
Up the gondola to Baron Falls...I enjoyed walking around, but the girls didn't and wanted to go...
Goofing around...always...
Next stop...Kuranda...
We walked around the village and poked in the shops...the girls got some bracelets and I got a ring. Brooke and Katelyn got those beaded extension things in their hair...we stopped for some ice cream and then later, a snack of nachos and "chips" (French Fries) and Bill squirted ketchup on everybody but me, on accident, of course! Everyone had ketchup all over their shirts except me! I'm usually the unsuspecting victim, but this time I dodged that bullet! Hahahaha! We caught the train back and it was a very loooooong ride...a very SLOW train! Then, from Cairns we still had our bus ride back to the hotel. It was still raining hard when we got back to the hotel! (Cyclone Nathan wreaking havoc and making landfall later that night.)
Day 8 a very WET and ketchupy day! Hahahaha! But we had FUN together and that's all that matters~memories were created!
