So i'm back in the land of OZ. Met Andrew at the airport in Darwin and spent a couple of days seeing the city and meeting his friends. It is so seriously hot, nice to have some sun again! But no doubt i'll be moaning about the temperature again soon - thats the english way or the 'whinging pom' way as the aussies would say!
Spent some time exploring the shops of Darwin and then went to a jumping crocodile show just outside Darwin. You get on a small metal boat and go out along the Adelaide River. They tie pieces of meat to a pole and the crocodiles jump out of the water to catch it. We are sitting in the boat a metre or so from these huge crocodiles jumping out the water! You would defiantly not want to put your head over the edge of the boat in case it is mistaken for a piece of meat!
We drove down form Darwin to Katherine on Wednesday. Its a 3 hour drive which is a long way for us but its a short trip up the road for Australians! Have spent the past 2 days being
shown around Katherine and just chilling out. After moving from hostel to hostel every couple of nights its so nice to be in 1 place for a couple of weeks and see the real Australian way of day to day life.
Helen and Chris: glad you got back to the UK ok, i miss you and our laughs! Went to see Hot Fuzz at the cinema last night - v funny! Start thinking about your next round the world adventure!
