Back in Cairnes again after a trip up north!
The first day we spent at cape tribulation, walking around the bush, looking for crocs and cassowaries. What's a cassowary? It is one of two birds in the world that could kill you. It's not because of it's size (even though they are kinda big) that they can kill you, but of the daggers on their toes. They use the talons to cut you from the neck to your stomach, spillin' your guts. Nasty!
After a whole day of just us four guys walking around in the rainforest we found... nothing. Well to be fair we did see a fair share of trees. And some bushturkeys. And a dead lobster. Yeah.
We stopped by a small cafe while driving and ended up splitting two crocodile(!)burgers. Tastes a little like fish mixed with chicken. Yum!
Later that night we were arguing where we should sleep when one of the guys cracked the master plan of all of us camping in their 2-man tent. Now we are talking about four full grown (ok maybe I'm not the tallest guy in the world) men sleeping in a four square meter tent. Cozy. Before we went to bed we bumped into two of the girls from Cairns (stalkers!), and then got invited to a bonfire on the beach.
So next thing we are walking towards the pitch black beach, in a pitch black jungle, filled with the most dangerous animals in the world. Woopie. At least we had the torch on our mobile phones.
We arrive at the bonfire and I come to the conclusion that the two guys that's started it doesn't know jack shit about starting a fire. After standing around for a while I try to help them the best I could, but the fight is already over. To cap it all off it starts raining. Groan.
Now we are running through the black rainforest again and the rain is pouring down. After a few quick descisions, we end up sleeping in the car instead.
After a day filled with plants we decided to go to a zoo instead. There we saw saltwater crocodiles (salties), petted kangaroos, wallabies and koalas, and fed some cassowaries. Coooooooooool. I petted a croc to of course. Because I'm that awesome.
In other news the couch is back again and this is third week with a cold. I am hoping it will dissappear soon. I am also seriously cobsidering going back to being an everyday vegetarian. We'll see when I get back to Sweden.
See you around!
