Yesterday we left Cool Waters caravan park and drove to the Cairns Botanical Gardens. I wanted to have a few long walks before we set off around the mountains.
The first trek was a walkers track that seemed to have at least a thousand steps. Skin found it hard to climb just one of them.
Look at his little hat appearing over the top.
He had to stop and have a rest after this supreme effort.
The next walk was along a boardwalk through a rainforest.
It is hard to believe that this vegetation is only a stones throw from the city.
We stopped beside a pond filled with lotus plants.
Skin decided to have another rest.
What a lazy banana!
Then it was time to hit the road and make our way up the mountain to Kuranda, then onto Mareeba, Atherton and Ravenshoe.
This week is our 'mountain climbing week'. I hope Skin has not lost his pick and climbing boots, not to mention his helmet!
