Kuranda

12th Oct. We set the alarm at 6am and went down for  continental breakfast at Hides Hotel. We walked to the train station and caught the scenic rail up to Kuranda. It made a stop at Barron falls but not much water was coming over the falls. Up at Kuranda we walked to the town and had a coffee. Then dad bought a paper and we settled him in a chair while we went to the markets. We were tempted by a crocodile belt until we heard the price of 170 dollars. We had a lovely lunch at a cafe near a lady playing a harp. Then we caught  the skyrail down the mountain. This trip was absolutely awesome. Suspended high above the rainforest it was scary but beautiful and as we descended the mountain we afforded expansive views of the ocean and cairns. A bus took us back to our hotel but mum and I got off early and walked up the esplanade and the back to Hides stopping for ice cream and wifi at maccas. We bought tea from Woolies and ate it on the balcony.
