Tonight I'm staying in Cairns, in air conditioned comfort. Feels so good.
I'm still dehydrated after trying to camp outside last night, so I'm drinking plenty of water.
Unfortunately, I think I'll have to skip visiting Daintree. I overlooked that *both* roads to it from Cairns are closed. Travelling there via Atherton instead would take about 4.5 hours, which is time I'd rather spend visiting other places nearby Atherton.
Maybe next time!
