Alice Springs - Darwin Yes, there is still me! The second and final part of my outback tour ended yesterday, and after thousands of miles on the bus, plenty of highlights along the road and three exciting days in Kakadu, I am now in tropical Darwin: Daily 30 degrees and palm trees instead of red Wuestensand. I'd like you minutely from all my experiences to report, but I have noticed on the phone, that somehow does not work. I'm here in a completely enderen world in which we must ask at least three people to figure out day and date, because we experience every day as much as otherwise encounter in a week and one from the zoo animals in the wild. So I was driving as canoeing in Katherine Gorge. Although we have not seen any crocodiles, but they do exist there, of which we were able to convince us even later. A snake and a baby wallaby I've had on my arm and all the creepy-crawly now belong to the open air bedroom. Also, I was funny at the 4WD trips through the car spun and was rewarded after strenuous hikes with breathtaking lookouts. I swam both beautiful, as also large and very cold waterfalls. It's really hard to write down what one does, even if you barely know what all happened ... Therefore, only a few visual impressions (! More organge-red rock) and the Needless mention that I very well here goes:)
Together with Renske I try in the next days to come to Cairns, which is a somewhat is more complicated than expected, as all flights fully booked and lifts are in short supply ... but somehow we will succeed in doing this already, since we are now again back to civilization!

Eine Stunde Leerlauf zwischen Hostel-Checkout und Abfahrt nach Cairns, Zeit fuer ein kurzes Update. Darwin war vor allem eins: Warm und sonnig! Nach einem Strandtag mit baden bei 22 Grad Wassertemperatur nehme ich darum heute ein weniger schoenes Sonnenbrand-Souvenir mit in den Bus. Aber ausser dem guten Wetter hatte Darwin halt nicht so wirklich viel zu bieten, die Stadt an sich ist relativ klein und unspektakulaer. Ein Highlight war der Mindil Beach Sunset Market mit Livemusik, Essen und Kleinkram. Gestern gab es dann noch eine kleine Reunion, als Renske und ich uns mit zwei Daenen und zwei Australierinnen getroffen haben, die wir vom ersten Teil der Outbacktour kennen. Sehr lustig und ein schoener Abschluss fuer unseren Aufenthalt in Darwin. Die kommenden drei Tage koennten die langweiligsten der ganzen Reise werden, da wir weder einen Flug noch eine Mitfahrgelegenheit gefunden haben und darum mit dem Greyhound-Bus nach Cairns fahren werden. Das einzig nicht-busfahrerische waehrend dieser Zeit wird ein 21-stuendiger Aufenthalt in Tennant Creek (Mini-Ort in the Outback) are, hurray. I've already stocked up yesterday in the second-hand shop with three books and I hope that extends the ... After all, my back has been spared from sunburn, so at least I have no pain when sitting. You see, I give myself the allergroesste effort to find something positive too:)
