This is a place we could have stayed for ages. We happened to choose a beautiful day as there is a fair bit of rain around - the place is a rain forest after all! It is absolutely beautiful - everything you've ever read or seen on TV or in magazines is true. We crossed the Daintree River on the ferry early in the morning and travelled slowly up the road to Cape Tribulation almost touching the rain forest on either side of the car. Whatever looked inviting - which was everything - we stopped to look at and explore. The views, the magnificent beaches, the trees, the ferns, the butterflies, the birds, the coffee, the ice-cream!!! were all incredible. The ice-cream was made from the tropical fruit grown in the area and where we had our coffee was like sitting in a butterfly sanctuary. I tried so hard to catch the blue Ulysess on my camera but it was impossible. They are the brightest blue I have ever seen. When they land their wings are closed and the blue can't be seen.
It was like being on a movie set though it was real life, and again, a complete privilege to have been there. We will definitely go there again.
