There's wedding fever in Oz too!

The sunsets are breathtaking

So another busy week has passed by and this saw me visit places I first saw almost 20 years ago on my first trip to Australia, Kakadu National Park, Katherine Gorge and Litchfield National Park and I certainly wasn't dissapointed, the best part (aside from the beautiful waterfalls, stunning sunsets, breathtaking views and scenery) was there were no where near as many files as there was last time (thank the lord) I had my fly net at the ready as previously I remember being plagued by millions of the little buggers but this time it was relatively civilised - well thats if you discount having cane toads in the showers and frogs plopping out of taps when you turn them on yes (yes this did happen to me one morning about 6.30 - I'm surprised you couldn't hear me screaming in the UK!!)  Yes I can safely say that I am done with the australian outback and camping for a while, we decided on our last night of camping at Mount Bundy Station that enough was enough and yes its great to be at one with nature, but a clean bed, air conditioning and my own bathroom (with no frogs and toads) wins hands down at the moment!!

So today is the royal wedding day and yes wedding fever is alive and well in Australia too, its on the TV 24 hours a day at the moment - though we are 8.5 hours ahead here so I will be watching through the night as Kate and William tie the knot! I am feeling very patriotic today so I went out and bought a magazine and decorated my hotel room in preparation for the big event (god knows what the chambermaids must think!! Crazy Pom probably!! haha). I have been listening to rousing british music ...Jerusalem and Elgar and singing very loudly.. I kind of wish I was at home for the big event and feel just a tiny bit homesick when I see all the mad english people  on TV sleeping on the streets outside Westminster Abbey !! But hey ho I'll be in Sydney on Monday so its not all bad!! haha.

Anyway, better go now and get ready for an evening of TV viewing. :-) Happy Wedding Day William and Kate!
