18 nov Tog det lugnt och kollade runt i Darwin dagen efter Obama besoket. Fixade hotellbokningar och lite rundturer. Det regnade lite men det gor det varje dag under wetseason. Men det ar korta skurar sa det har ingen betydelse.
19 nov Hyrde bil och akte till nationalparken Litchfield 12 mil soder om Darwin. Dar fick vi se varan forsta kangeru. Termitstackar som var 5 meter hoga. Bada vid ett vattenfall. Det andra vattenfallet vi akte till hade badforbud eftersom krokodilerna hade kommit dit. Vi sag inte nagon krokodil men de simmar in under wetseason. Vi sag ocksa fladdermoss och en svensk tjej fran Uppsala. Ut pa kvallen i Darwins nattliv - tyvarr ingen dans.
20 nov Tog bilen till Kakadu nationalpark. Nar vi korde dar forstod vi att norra sverige ar tattbefolkat. Total vildmark med en nastan spikrak vag. Robert sa att en kartlasare har far saga svag hoger kurva 40 km framat sen rakstracka 50 km framat. Langst efter vagen fick vi se road trains (langa lastbilar med 3 slap), manga kangerur bade levande och overkorda, en stor (50 cm) odla korsade vagen i ultrarapid tempo. Vi sag papegojor och andra faglar. Det var valdigt hett over 30 grader.
21 nov Flog till Alice springs. Manga har varnat oss for hettan har men vi kom till en typisk svensk sommardag. Dugg regn, 21 grader varmt och mulet. For nagon dag sen var har 38 grader varmt. Idag har vi besokt Flying doctors museum och en reptil park. Vi har gosat med ormar och odlor...de ar mysigare an man tror. Imorgon bitti 04.45 bar det ivag till Uluru (Ayers rock) och gissa vad vi ska talta dar.
18 Nov: We took it easy and looked around Darwin the day after the Obama visit. Fixed some hotel and guided tour bookings. It rained a little but it rains every day during wetseason, but the rain just comes in small waves so it doesn't matter.
SvaraRadera19 Nov: Hired a car and went to nationalpark Litchfield 120 kilometers south of Darwin. There we got to see our first Kangaroo. We also saw Termitestacks that were 5 meters tall. Took a bath beside a waterfall. The other waterfall we went forbade swimming because the crocodiles had arrived there. We didn't see any crocodiles but they swin in during wetseason. We also saw bats and a swedish girl from Uppsala. We went out ot feel the Darwin nightlife - sadly no dancing.
20 Nov: took the car to Kakadu nationalpark. When we drove there we realised that the north of sweden is crowded. Only wildlife and almost a dead straight road. Robert made jokes about how useless it would be with a mapreader. Along the road we saw these huge trucks with three trailers behind them. We also so lots of kangaroos, both dead and alive ones, one 50cm high crossed the road ultra slow. we saw parrots and other birds. It was very warm, over 30 degrees.
21 Nov: Flew to Alice springs. Many have warned us for the heat but we arrived to a typical swedish summerday. Some rain, 21 degrees warms adn cloudy. Some days ago it was 38 degrees warm. Today we have been to flying doctors museum and a reptile park. We have been cuddling with snakes and lizards... they are cuddlier than you would think. Tomorrow 04:45 in the morning we will leave for Uluru (Ayers rock) and guess what, we will camp in a tent there.
"Vi sag ocksa fladdermoss och en svensk tjej fran Uppsala."
