5/13/2012: Great Barrier Reef Part II

Today we go to the rain forest.  The out and up trip is via cable-car.  Neither David nor I like this. Can I open my eyes yet?  The worst part was when the damn car stopped and we were hanging there, blowing in the wind.  Why does mankind invent something like this?  If we were meant to be up in the air, we’d have wings.

We got off at the first possible moment, if only for a break.  Our timing was nice; we got to attend a 20 minute guided walk by a naturalist. Click on this sentence for a definition of, and more information about, rainforests.

In the village at the top we had lunch and then everyone but me went to the koala reserve, I sat on a bench and finished reading Empire: Summer Moon (highly recommended) on my Kindle.  The return trip via rail was much more enjoyable.
