The Road to Aus

So Vela and Nathan have headed off in different directions. We left Boracay together on the second of August and made our way to Manila. After a quick pit stop in a hotel, Nathan managed a solid 3 hours sleep, it was back to the airport. Nathan's trip consisted of three separate planes (Manila-Singapore-Perth-Darwin), while Vela had a direct flight to Tokyo.

After over 30 hours travelling, and a very uncomfortable 13 hours overnight in a chilly Perth airport, Nathan finally arrived in Darwin. It was an awesome feeling to meet up with Callum, Max Sun, Jamie and Nate. They'd already done the hard work and had the rental vehicles - 2x Toyota Hilux's with rooftop tents and all decked out for camping in the outback. After a stop to provision the fridges, we hit the road.

After a pit stop at a brewery for a bevy and a pizza, we headed into Kakadu national Park. We passed a bunch of Wallabies on the side of the road as well as a herd of Buffalo. We stopped for the night at a spot called 2-mile hole. We figured out our camp gear, lit a fire to try and smoke out the mozzies (reasonably successful) and settled in. There were a bunch of bats flying around overhead and frogs rustling their way through the dry leaves we watched shooting stars overhead.

A pretty early night was had, with everyone in bed by 10.30. Looking forward to more adventures on the morrow!

Meanwhile, Vela flew into Tokyo and successfully met up with Fish. They're ready to hit the town and cause havoc in Japan! Czytaj więcej
