Woke up pretty early today and noticed wifey was missing! Not to worry though, she was just on the Internet the hall. I logged on for a bit to check if there was any news back home. I saw that the boxers did quite well in European championships with 2 golds. We're really looking forward to seeing them @ the Olympics next summer! We strolled into Smith street for a look around the shops, while Carol looked around I found some free wifi in central Daarwwinn. (locat...

So day 10 of our holiday! we signed up for 1 day tour of Litchfield national park (well some of it!) We were picked up at hostel by bus and our guide for today, Daz.

Mental long day today. Alarm clock went off at 5.10am. Checked out of ocean beach hostel, nice place to stay but some ghoul bag, pissed as a flute, woke me at 3am falling down the little stair case outside our room.
