Today was relax around Darwin Day.I actually wasn't too well today.I think I was tired and suffering from a bit of dehydration.I had to go back to the hostel and have a lie down.But I guess I had a busy week.I couldn't believe how much I had done in a week.Seen so much, done so much.A week felt so much longer because we were constantly on the go and always doing something.It's great!It made the trip feel so much longer. So we finally had our days of doing nothin...

We arrived in Darwin on Friday, after nearly 24hours on the bus. We were ready to relax and recharge. However, no such luck, there's no time to stop on this tour!

Hello again! So after a great night's sleep (bout hour and half!!) sweating a stone in weight, we were up at the lovely hour of 4.15 am. Breakfast in the dark, and then off on the bus to our next destination. We saw a Kangaroo running across the road when we were travelling on the bus, just before dawn!
