———————————–
Cape Trib Connection brought us to Cape Tribulation for a night at the Beach House. Our driver was Barry and is a rather weird fella. On the way to Cape Tribulation we made a stop every now and then and walked in the rain forest, where Barry told us interesting facts.
To really enjoy our Cape Tribulation experience we went for a night walk in the rain forest. This was really fascinating as we saw nocturnal King Crickets, Forest Dragons, vicious red centipedes and most wonderfuly of all: glowing mushrooms and glowing funghi. Just a couple of weeks ago I had seen Avatar was still remembering the lovely nocturnal world in which the Na’vi lived. In this night I was having my own such feeling but in the real world! Interestingly one of the guides told us that many ideas of the plant life in Avatar are actually just exagerations of things found in the Daintree rain forest and in the marine life of the Great Barrier Reef. I was totally in awe…
