Rather than try to explore on our own, we hired a guide to take us into the Daintree Rainforest up past Cape Tribulation and out to Bloomfield Falls. Pete, from Heritage Tours, picked us up with his "real" Land Rover. What I mean by "real," is that it was not the luxury vehicle that Joseph is driving but was a mud-covered workhorse with snorkels for driving through river beds. In addition to driving us into the rainforest, Pete wanted to ensure if we were stranded, we would not starve to death, so he gave us a lesson in eating insects. He actually convinced us to eat termites and lick tasty ants (yes, you read that right). After that, Robyn and I got to play Tarzan and Jane swinging across a creek on vines. Although I did a better job swinging across the creek, I was not as graceful on the vine swing as Robyn. Pete did say I was the "biggest bloke" he ever had actually swing on the vine or get up in the tree swing which gave me the impression he was crossing his fingers that the vines would hold me… We also got to go swimming and have lunch at a pretty much private lagoon in the middle of the forest. Before getting into the lagoon, I noticed my foot was bleeding. Pete told me "No problems, I just finished feeding a few leeches earlier in the walk". Then he proceeded to tell us that if we get a leech on our eyeball, just stand still for 20 minutes and wait for it to fall off or you could damage your eye. Luckily, we didn't get a chance to try out our newfound knowledge. After that we went to Cape Tribulation beach. It is unbelievable how many long, undeveloped beaches there are throughout Australia. If any of those beaches existed in Florida, they would be wall-to-wall condos, but in Australia, you could be the only person for miles in each direction without a building in site. Speaking of Florida, Pete mentioned on our drive back that he heard there was a school in Florida that had an alligator as a mascot but had mistakenly put a picture of a crocodile on their marketing materials. Embarrassingly, we had to admit that it was our school that made such a stupid mistake that even people 10,000 miles away in the rainforest had heard about it!
