Crocodilos
At one with natureThere are no excuses for sitting around in Cairns and the next tour was to Cape Tribulation. There are two places that you can stay; Crocodilos or the Jungle Lodge. Ever indecisive, I opted for a night in each.
Crocodilos was very, well, nice. If you wanted a pretty place to stay, then you can look no further. If you wanted a bit of excitement then you would be VERY disappointed. Everyone was either sitting around reading books or going on nature trails (and I had had enough of nature trails), and to top it all, it rained. In the evening we played Trivial Pursuit which was a complete nightmare as it was the Australian version and none of us knew any of the answers. Unable to contain my excitement I took an early night which was pretty much the norm at Crocodilos.
Upon arrival at the Jungle Lodge, the contrast could not have been greater. We got off the bus and promptly had beers forced on us and we were all off our heads an hour later. Later on there was some jelly wrestling, an iron man contest (which was basically a glorified drinking contest and was almost
Tropical Vines
The best of what Crocodilos had to offer won by a girl) and a buckaroo contest consisting of a barrel strung over the pool. We were told that the pool is commonly known as 'the sperm-bank' and later on that night it became apparent why.
The following day was Melbourne Cup day and there was a horse auction, followed by the Cape Tribulation Cup. There was also a bit of 'hair of the dog' in the form of a Champagne breakfast which helped the hangover somewhat. No one went anywhere near the pool.
