Rainforest from above 🚠😆 & bye Cairns

For my third day in Cairns a fellow dutchie and I spontanously decided to go to Kuranda, known for being a village in the middle of the rainforest. 😊
There are 3 ways to get there
- by 🚂, which is still closed due to damage caused by cyclone Jasper in december 😕
- by 🚗, which I didn't have 🤷🏼‍♀️
- by 🚠, where the gondula is hovering only meters above the treetops 🤩

There were 2 stops on the way up with really nice viewpoints. 📸 The second one overlooking the Barron falls, which were super impressive due to the amout of rain lately. 💙
In Kurada we just strolled around a bit as the village is not very big.
I visited the butterfly sanctuary, which was super interesting. Butterflies are such beautiful and interesting creatures! 🦋🦋
Before heading back down again, we went to another viewpoint for the Barren falls - this time from the other side. 😆
I spent the evening in town where I met up with another traveller from Switzerland to have some drinks. 🍻

For my last day in Cairns I did nothing special...besides starting the day with a morning run along the esplanade (way too hot, even though I started at 6:30 am 🥵), checked out the weekend-market 🍉🍍🥭🥥🥑, spoiled myself with a little massage 💆🏼‍♀️, and just chilled at the hostel 🦦 before going to the airport in the afternoon to get to my last destination -> Sydney!
