One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In northern Queensland, in Australia; Delving into the daintree rainforest which spits us onto the beach, we are bewildered by two tanned dreadlocked guys riding rickety bicycles along the white sand, each balancing gigantic jackfruit on outstretched arms. They catch sight of us, cruise over and share their bounty on the beach. After the sickly sweet feast, they give us instructions on how to find the seceret 'blue hole'. After twists and turns down dirt tracks, we abandon our van and walk on foot through moss carpeted rainforest. The trees open out and there is the most incrediable blue tinged swimming hole I have ever seen. Surrounded by lush ferns, we strip off and immerse ourselves in the tepid water. Silver fish swim around and nibble our toes and I think I have found paradise.
