Day 3 is the “relaxing” day so we get to sleep in until 7 and go on a hike that’s not short, but short-er. More rocks again though. We hiked to the top of Baramundi Gorge and got to stay and swim for a long time. There were a few little water falls and places where you could jump off rocks and stuff. It was fresh water; clear, clean and the closest thing I had to a shower.

Later, Dan shares his snack with me so I decide that I hate him a little less.

Our last two stops that day were the giant termite mounds and another wetlands. Wetlands are a lot more boring than the other stuff but at least you don’t have to hike for hours and hours to get to them.

After that, we headed back to Darwin. Overall it was a really worthwhile trip and I enjoyed it…all they need to do it build a hotel and some sort of chair lift and it would be perfect. And Dan wasn’t THAT bad, he gave us a lot of good information, he just needs to realize that not everyone grew up in the Australian Outback. When we got back to our hostel, we grabbed a brochure just to see what it said. Sure enough, in fine print on the very back it said something like “Kakadu Dreams tours are designed for persons age 18-40 who are in good health. Expect to hike 10-15 kilometers per day, etc, etc.” Well, there goes my complaint letter.

It was Jamie’s last night in Australia so went out to eat and she picked Shenanigans. “Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks? …You mean Shenanigans?”
