Alice Springs to Darwin 3 days 12th to 14th of June 2008

This tour wasn't my favorite but I got to sit back and relax, basically it was all about driving 1300 kms in 3 days!
Our tour guide was a little strange, he called himself Sauce and here is the reason way... his family name is De Soyres and it s to make Soy Sauce, yeah I know worst reason for nickname ever!
A few more ppl joined our tour while a few left (the Danish Boys, the Scottish Couple and the Canadian Guy) and we got on boards 2 more japanese, 5 more englishs: dani, dom, becka, linda and Mark and 1 more french from Quimper.
(La Bretagne en Force ahaha)
The first night we stopped at a kettle Station, it was pretty funky to be surrounded by cows, chickens, kangaouroos in the middle of the Outback..
Second night we reached Katherine Gorge, the highlight of this tour!
But during those 2 days we stopped at a few places such as the Devils Marbles (some more rock formation), Daly Waters Pub made of travellers junk but very funny ;)), Mataranka where we swam in some hot springs and everybody agreed with this heat it would have been nice to swim in cooler water.
The last day, 2 to 3 hours canoeing in the Katherine Gorge: Amazing! the first gorge was absolutely beautiful.. My arms ached for the next 2 days!!! lol
In the afternoon we took the road to Darwin stopped to see the Buffalo from Crocodile Dunde, I know so exciting and we finally got to Darwin at 6pm.
Darwin: sun, palm trees, pool in the hostel, feeling of holidays again lol
Anyway we all headed for our free meal at the Vic (Backpacked bar a must do in Darwin), anyway what was supposed to be an easy night to be on form for kakadu the next day turned out to be another of those crazy nights and on this I blame Mark and the danish Boys and also the free Drinks we won lol Damn you all I was in bits the next day!
