yesterday we left tyrconnel to come to the daintree rainforest in cape tribulation. yesterday was the day from hell. we got on the bus at 9 am to leave and we literally stopped every 30 minutes for no reason. we stopped outside of cape trib to get groceries because there are none on this island. but then our professor told us not to get naythign that cant be refrigerated because we are stoppign on the way for outdoor lectures. so that results in me eating peanut butter AGAIN. what should have taken about 30 minutes from the grocery store to our hostel was actually a 5 hour venture. we got to stop at all these spots in the rainforest and the guy, small paul, who was giving us all our elctures talked for freaking hours and most of it wasnt about anything to do with teh rainforest. its really frustrating sometimes because taking notes is making it to where we cant look around and enjoy the rain forests. finally we got to our hostel and then were supposed to go on a night walk to animal spot. thank goodness our professor realized that none of us were going to do it so she postponed it until tonight. so of course, we all just went to the bar.
this morning we went to the rainforest discovery centre. it was really neat. they built pathways to walk through certain parts of the forest and there were different levels. we got to walk on teh bottom, then the middle, then we got to go up high above the canopys. it was really neat. the rest of the afternoon has been a free day so we went to the beach but it was kinda cloudy so we didnt stay for long.
uhmmm nothing else really exciting going on right now besides the MASSIVE spiders that are here. they are the size of my hand, if not bigger, and im not exagerrating. they are everywhere and even in the hostel showers.
