Trip to Adelaide and Kakadu



Well four days in Adelaide is not nearly enough! Sharon and Joe's wedding was a great, was kept entertained and busy! Not to mention picking up a new skill, I am now also a bridal seamstress if ever I decide to go back-packing and need to put some skills on my resume! As for the weather well I did pack a jumper and a jacket so I can say I have been able to put some 'normal' clothes on rotation. Wasn't so great to drop 6kg's in three weeks and have the dress a little too big (but don't think anyone noticed) have managed to regain 3 of the 6 thus far.

Easter was spent with a drive down to Kakadu National Park on the Friday and returning to Darwin on the Saturday. While it was the 'wrong time of year' and there were no birds, crocodiles or water lillies on account of the un-seasonal rainfall that dumped an extra 1.5m into the park a couple of weeks ago - they will return, and so shall I when next I have visitors to Darwin (hint hint).
Next Travel spot is to Melbourne on the 5th, 6th and 7th or May. Jetstar have commenced service to Darwin Direct from Melbourne (prob is no frequent flyer points and its a red eye flight leaving at 2am). Friday night we are off to a show for the Comedy Festival, then for a footy fix Saturday night it's Richmond v's the Bombers... yes it is a working trip to Melbourne.
