How ya going?
We finally managed to get to cape trib via a rather indirect bus route. There’s no phone signal up here, so no texts or calls for a while.
The place is really nice. Theres a nice beach just down the path, and they have some fun stuff going on most evenings. Tonight apperently is hippy night, so we have to find some hippy stuff to wear.
We met some really nice people last night. Yasha (spelt with a J apperently) aka Herman the German (but not to his face). Sam, Jason and Sean were some delightfully hilarious drunks we laughed at. Also met a guy called Tristan, who we need to find today to give him his hat back. We also met a guy who used to roadie for U2 and the Rolling stones, or so he claims. He seems nice and fits the roadie profile so we believed him. He got chased by a cassowary the other day, so he gave us the useful tip to stick your arms out to make yourself big and shout alot.
The bar shuts at 12, so a biggish group of us headed down to the beach, which was so pretty. Huge moon, lots of stars, and a tempermental bonfire.
We cant get any photos up till we move on because there is no USB slot here.
Right we are off to the swimming hole in the lovely sunshine. We will make sure we watch out for crocs and cassowarys (and drop bears)
You miss us
Love Steff & Rach

I’d never heard of a cassowary so I had to look it up - they are really nasty, they disembowel stuff (inc. people) with their middle claws - stay well away from them! Looked up drop bears too - apparently they don’t exist. Tales of drop bears are used to tease tourists and to scare small children so that they don’t play under eucalyptus trees (because the branches have a habit of dropping off). This trip of yours is becoming quite educational.
Bet it’s nice to be lazing on the beach instead of scrambling for a plane or bus. Steff - when you get the chance text a “happy birthday” to Nana.
love mum

I will do, but i need you to text her number to rachels phone.
We knew about the drop bears
p.s. we saw a baby croc yesterday.
Hi guys, hope things are going to plan and you are having a blast! Just to let you know Rach, Mum left today to go to Kosova for 10 days so she won’t be able to communicate much. I said i will ring / text her with any significant news.
Luv ya. Dad K
Last comment before I lose my internet access! Cape Trib sounds great and just what you needed after Hong Kong. I remember those cassowary birds from the trek through the rainforest last time … something about how important they were for the habitat as they drops seeds in a weird way???!!
I’m off to Heathrow today - with bags way over the weight limit (+12kg full of craft stuff) - hoping my team will take some of it! I’ve packed very few clothes which is a first for me! Love you lots. Mum K
