Dr Bob reporting from Kuranda

Wednesday

We are now in Kuranda where we have booked in for 6 days. The Savannah Way was not what we thought it would be, so we have ended up here a bit earlier than planned.
It was only a few kms to the mango winery (Golden  Drop) where you can sample six drinks, including dry, medium or sweet wine, mango port and liqueur plus various other fruit liqueurs or/and sparkling mango wine.!!!!!!! -all for $5 if you didn't buy anything. Needless to say we didn't pay for the samples. We are planning to leave all our alcohol in the Dudley's van whilst up the Cape, but Ian is telling us not much more will fit.
Having set up camp in the caravan park, five of us went for a walk down to the river, but ended up in town, arriving there about 3.30pm just as everything was shutting up. By 4:00pm the place was empty. Apparently once the last train and sky-rail has gone the place becomes some what dead.
Barry waited for me whilst I did a few sciatic nerve stretches and the others walked down to the station to get a timetable. They walked back up the other side of the road, so we missed them,  and waited for half an hour or so whilst they were back in camp - can't trust anyone  any more!
Lorraine would like everyone to know that she managed to get 32 channels on her TV with out any help!!!!!!!
Let's see what tomorrow brings
