1 night at Daintree Crocodylus

Concerns about heat and humidity and mossie nets were unnecessary. Great nights sleep after nighttime 2hr guided nature walk of jungle ("forest" seems inadequate). Did not realize that Sal has her own kitchen and cooks gourmet resto dinners. Likewise breakfast looked great but we had fixins for our own bacon butties.
