Extended Absence

I arrived in Cairns on a flight from Brisbane. As a city, it sucks. I did a dive on my first day and got the hell out of town. The dive was very good, but not mindblowing. I have no pictures from the dive, but I do for Daintree National Park where Cape Tribulation lies. This park is lush rainforest, and it rivalled what I saw on Fraser. For the most part, it was downtime for me as I had travelled quite a bit for the past week, but I did get to climb Mt Sorrow. It was a challenging climb for me. 3.5km in and with a 450m elevation added in for kicks. The last 1.5km was 300m elevation, with leeches jumping on for good measure, so I was pretty messed up at the end, but it was worth it when I got to see the rainforest canopy leading down to the ocean. Have a looksee for yourself uhmkay?
