This morning after breakfast it was only a short drive to Kuranda, a picturesque mountain village with lots of things to see and do. Being so close to Cairns means heaps of tourists visit on a daily basis. After strolling around the market for a bit we went to the Butterfly Sanctuary, where we learned all about the local butterflies during the guided tour. There were some really beautiful ones in bright green and turquoise.
Around noon we couldn't resist the smell coming from the German sausage place around the corner, so that's were we enjoyed lunch.
Before driving out of Kuranda we visited the Barron Falls. Then it was time to head to Cairns. When we drove to the other side of the mountains the sky started to clear and we had our first look at the east coast.
It looked promising!!!
In Cairns we checked into a hostel and in the evening we walked along the esplanade and had amazing Thai food. It was Friday night and it was really busy everywhere. It felt like a proper holiday destination!
