so spent all afternoon at 'the lagoon' which is the fake beach and ocean pool thing in downtown Cairns. Goodtimes though as it was with much of the energy mob. and let the record show that i am NOT sunburned!! finally learned how to use sunscreen maybe?? Anyway, got back, had a big meeting with activities to sign up for, and then went with Erica, Helen, Claire, Dan, and Mark to see what we thought was gonna be a live band. no such luck. just a dj... still chilled out, had a chai. apparently i've got over my drinking stage - or i'm just that cheap ;) went back and watched people heading out. too tired for that though. so to bed relatively early. got up early as well as usual. lucked out and managed to pursuade the correct authorities that a few of us should be allowed to go on the Duke program excursion. So it was me, Dan, Mark, and Ben all hitchin a ride with the Dukies... a free trip! huzzah. So out to the Daintree rainforest for a 2 hr guided tour. The aboriginal guide knew just about everything and i know i barely absorbed half of it. awesome to actually be walking around in a real rainforest... learned what some of the poisonous stuff was, where to find water in the tablelands, survivor-esque. Then on to Port Douglas where we had a couple hours to just lay around on the beach and swim in the ocean. Such a gorgeous coastline, I felt like i should be in a documentary or something. more later!
