Our tour guide, a non-douche and completely chill guy, drove us around and even stopped by a fudge shoppe and cafe so we could refuel before heading into the forest.
Note: Cookies and Cream fudge tastes like frosting out of the plastic tub. Super sweet and dangerously addictive. My teeth and taste buds were screaming at me to go easy and not eat all 100g of what I had purchased. So far, only a quarter of this bar has disappeared.
Today, in easily digestible bullet format:
- glow worms in a man made grotto
- sleeping owls
- tons and tons of rainforest tree and plant life
- hand fed several Crimson Rosellas and a very large Australian king parrot
- make your own wrap for lunch (I'm growing quite fond of Aussie "Sweet Chili Sauce.")
- Aussie turkeys (supposedly not very delicious, like American turkeys...my guide said to prepare it, you first get a rock and boil the bird with it. You can then eat it once the rock gets soft...if you catch my drift.)
- met another awesome person and had another wonderful conversation
- walked behind a few waterfalls and took potential Facebook profile pics accordingly
- saw a double rainbow at rainbow falls...I have proof!
Although this took all day, I felt the day had flown by. I was a bit disappointed that it ended because I was enjoying myself too much. Also, I am happy to report that the bags under my eyes are starting to slowly recede. Rest and relaxation are winning!
Tommorrow, another early morning but worth the early rise. I see KT and I head to New Zealand!
