Kakadu (19.07.2012): Well I survived my shower trip with only a few mosquitoes for company. There are so many here - more than anywhere we have been. We are covered in bites. On the plus it is not quite as hot. It is around 30 degrees. It feels very different as it is a dry heat. I don't miss the humidity. The sky always seems to be lovely and clear, making the sun very strong. I am still sporting my factor 50 sunscreen but am fairly tanned (for me anyway). Th...

Kakadu (18.07.2012): We have travelled 300km from Litchfield Park to Kakadu. We made some stops on the way, firstly at Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve and next at Window on the Wetlands. At both places we were able to check out the Adelaide River Wetlands and the wildlife contained within. Some of the birds are exquisite. I saw my first kangaroo too (though it may have been a Wallaby, I am not certain). There are signs about crocodile dangers everywhere. We wer...

Litchfield Park (17.07.2012): Today we drove 117km from Darwin to Litchfield Park National Park. The roads are great: all very straight and mostly single lanes with very little traffic. I have had a go at driving and like it. It is nice to be high up. I can't for the life of me park the thing though! After driving through Batchelor our first stop was the Magnetic Termite Mounds. The mounds stand up to two metres in height - it kind of looked like a grave yard...

Darwin (16.07.2012): We have made it to OZ! Arrived at 5:00 am, the flight was less than 4 hours but with the time difference we have shot forward a few hours. Landed feeling very tired. Everyone will be pleased to note that my hat made it - just! It was inspected for insects at customs. They were pretty strict but in the end they decided it was harmless. The PG tips have been illegally smuggled in. We only realised after we left the customs bit. After making...

Singapore Day 4 (15.07.2012): Lazy morning in the hostel today trying to sort all our things out for OZ. Excited about the next part of our trip! At around midday we headed for a walk around Singapore, stopping off at China Town. Adam was all over the pork buns again, his favourite treat in Hong Kong. We had lunch in the Maxwell Food Centre (thanks for the tip Mr G) then somehow ended up back at Marina Bay Sands oops. We got the MRT to the airport. Why are our...
