Kakadu

I’m writing this from the Bay of Islands in New Zealand; we have been having a reliably enjoyable time, but Kakadu, so far, has been the most extraordinary.

We spent three days and two nights touring Kakadu in a Toyota Landcruiser with a guide and a swiss family. We saw amazing wildlife, slept two nights in tents in all but crippling heat and humidity, saw aboriginal rock paintings, got to spend some time with an aboriginal matriarch, swam in waterfall pools, and loved talking with our guide. Miriam even ate an ant.

I’ll post pictures and details when I have a better internet connection.
