A Colourful Day

The Rainforest is the place you must to visit in Cairns although it looks no much difference from blue mountain from the view of a person like me.... But I do like the small villiage Kuranda, it locates at the end of the Skyrail cableway, of course a tourism town. But the artifical work are really nice, so as the price... Huanhuan happily fed kangroo with grass but bite by a parrot lightly.... The butterflies are so beautiful and they just flying around you. We had lunch at Kuranda villiage, very delicious pizza, we waite it for 30 minutes but it is worth the time, really good! other tables ordered the same after notcing our pizza. :-)

We booked Quicksilver cruises to experience the Great Barrier Reef on the second day we are in Cairns. It took us 1.5 hours on shuttle bus to the port Douglas and a further 1.5 hours on Quicksilver cruise to the on the sea deck. Frankly speaking, it is not a pleasant jurney before we arrived the deck, Lucy, Alex and granny vomit heavely and there is nothing could help them. :-( As this might be the only chance for grandparents to experience the outer sea and great barrier reef in their lives, we decide to do as much as we can.

When we queued for the check in luggage drop off, one guy asked me if I was on the flight to Cairns then ask me to check in as express counter because we already missed final boarding notice. What a tightly time to manage us to board the flight. I guessed we are the final people to board on the flight. We just sit down and adjusted the breath, the airplane taking off, in minutes. The land below our feet, we crossing the rivers and fields head to Cairns at 8:30 am.
