08.11.2015 Paronella Park

Temple in the middle of nowhere

In the rainforest, there are old temples, castles, and a large waterfall. That's the best way to describe Paronella Park. When we arrived, we wanted to turn around immediately because the entrance fee was unbelievably high. However, the owner, who is also the host that greets visitors at the front, gave us half-price admission. We got along really well with him, and we were even allowed to camp here for free. We went on a day hike through the old ruins, a bamboo forest, and along the temples and the waterfall. It's really beautiful to see here, and we would definitely recommend it. In the evening, we joined a night tour. The whole park looks even more fascinating in the dark. Everything is beautifully lit up, and it feels like a dream. It was exciting to walk through the rainforest at night. We saw fireflies for the first time!
