Unfortunately the weather doesn't want to get better... It rains and rains and rains.
The tour was going to pick me up at 7.15am and I was ready to go, but no one came and after half an hour from the planned pick-up all other people already left on their tours I started to get worried. I gave a ring to the mumber on my voucher and was said that the tour had some kind of delay and is on its way and will pick me up in 10min. After another half an hour even the man at the hostel reception started to get worried and asked me if I'm waiting for the pick-up and offered to ring them, what he also kindly did then.

Anyway, after a bit more than an hour of unnecessary waiting the tour arrived and I felt not happy because I waited so long and if I knew it before, I would not stand up so early and hurry and I also would have time to brush my teeth. Well, actually I probably had another lesson in being patient and being able to wait. :-)))
Then we drove for about an hour and came to the Rainforest Habitat, where we saw many native australian animals and the friendly stuff tried to persuade us to buy a picture with koala or a piton or a crocodile. It started to rain cats and dogs during our visit to the Habitat, so that no one could really enjoy it there and everyone was happy to get back on the bus. But, it still was very nice, I saw a tree kangaroo for the first time (yes, this is not a joke, there are really tree kangaroos!).
Than we came to the Daintree River and after lunch went on a one hour river cruise, where we saw one huge crocodile, relaxing on the shore, some very beautiful colourful tropical birds and a big piton, sleeping on the tree. Than it started to rain heavily again and we went back.
After that we drove to the Alexandra lookout and could see literally nothing... but clouds and rain... Instead of a spectacular view, our enthusiastic tour guide Fraser played a didgeridoo for us and explained how the circular breething works. Everyone tried it as well, but no one could, of course (you need some practice to be able to do it).
We crossed the river on the ferry and continued our way to the Cape Tribulation, where the first day of our tour was over. Most of the people were only for one day with us, so tomorrow only 2 of 22 are going to continue the way up north (including me). Some people went back to Cairns today, some others stay over night here, in Cape Tribulation. There are some things to see and do, but it would be much better is the weather could be better. At least there is no water shortage in this area. ;-))
And today I saw many different spiders, all af them are quite big and look dangerous. In the wet tropical forests they are everywhere...
