Day 2 of the tour didn't start officially until the minibus picked us up at 1.30pm, so we had the whole morning to lounge around sunning ourselves on the beach. Alan wandered off looking for a coconut and he was successful this time. It kept him amused for 10 minutes trying to get the coconut out of its protective wood-like outer casing, then he smashed it against a rock and we ate the coconut - yummy!
The tour guide picked us up and took us to an ice cream farm, where we got to sample 4 flavours of locally produced ice cream. We tried all the flavours of course, there was mango, coconut, juicy fruit flavour (like the chewing gum) and a creamy capachinno flavour (I gave this one to Alan).
Then it was off to the main event; the crocodile cruise along the Daintree river. This was supposed to be an hour cruise but turned out to be 45mins as we were late. We saw 2 female crocs which was great but we felt a bit let down that all the big male crocs were hiding. The guide pointed out a little blue kingfisher and told us a lot of information about the Mangrove forests.
Then it was back to Cairns.
