After an amazing night in my own room for the first time in I don't know how long, I got up early to get my taxi to the airport. There was a guy sharing it who was also going to the airport but on a different flight. Luckily it was only slightly earlier than mine so we managed to go and get some food (Burger King I think it was) and chill out together for a bit. Shame we weren't on the same flight it would have been nice to have someone to meet up with on the sto...

Date: 20th August 2011 Place: Kakadu National Park Weather: Sunny and hot It finally got around to a time to get up… I felt rough! My cold had come out properly and I was sooo tired. Nothing that a good hit of coffee couldn't fix though. We had a long drive to Kakadu as well so I slept a bit then. I didn't realise just how big Kakadu National Park is; it's the size of wales!!!
