Jungle Surfing

I took the 3 oldest girls on an extended weekend trip to visit the Great Barrier Reef- we flew to Cairns & drove 1 hr north to Port Douglas (where we stayed for the weekend). Our boat tour to the outer reef would be 1 day...so we had 2 more days to fit in as much sightseeing as we could. The first day we went to the Daintree Rainforest (oldest rainforest in the world) and went jungle surfing at Cape Tribulation. Basically, it's zip lining your way through the rainforest and at each landing the tour guide gives you info about the rainforest. It was really cool- the kids loved it.

I had to throw this pic in first- this is Emi on the plane to Cairns...she's upset that she had to sit by herself in this row...and she ended up falling asleep like this.

We arrived a bit early for our tour- to kill some time we were told about a nearby, crocodile safe, swimming hole- the girls had fun using the rope swing.

Tank girl, Madame Butterfly, & GI Jane all harnessed up and ready to jungle surf!

All 4 of us on one of the landings.

Proving once again that she can make friends wherever she goes...after trading jokes back and forth throughout the tour...the tour guide and Emi had to take a selfie together.
