September 11, 2011: Last day in Australia! Today we went to Kuranda, a village in the rainforest near Cairns. We took a skyrail (cable car) up over the mountains, then came back down on a train. While in Kuranda, we shopped at the markets, got to hold a koala, and fed/played with some kangaroos and wallabies! It was a great day.
The highlight and unexpected event of the day was running into our friend Mike in the middle of the rainforest during one of the cable car stops! He’s over working in Sydney for a few months and happened to be visiting Cairns this weekend as well. We ended up on the same train car back to Cairns AND the same flight back to Sydney tonight, so we had a lot of time to catch up and chat, which was great. Always fun to see familiar faces out and about in the world! :)
Tomorrow is the ‘time warp’ day, where we watch the sunrise in Sydney, board at 10am Monday, and then land in LA at 7:20am Monday, where we get to watch the sun come up on Monday again! The journey home begins… now. G’night mate!
