Air conditioner, bar fridge and a double bed

These are all the fittings in out budget hostel… and they seem quite dated. To be honest Darwin, as a town seems a bit crap. Bit I’d say this is more a reflection of our tameness at this stage on the game. Like anywhere you make your own experience… I’m confident we will get better at it over time, picking better hotels, doing more research about out options, taking full advantage of the opportunities/moments, and meeting people.

Were trading out bar fridge and double bed in tomorrow for 4 x wheels and 300km worth of that carbon intensive, outdated liquid energy. I have reservations about loosing the beg as Litchfield National Park only has camping facilities.

We have been doing lots of reading, almost non stop… I’ve got like 4 books going at once.

Its amazing the proportion of indigenous mob to us whities up here, feels much more balanced. The mob seems happier up as well, based on my observations in passing. Also a lot of orientally and islander blood in the neighborhood. Along with the spice of Asia come the culture, food, arts & crafts.

Sweet dreams,

Nathan
