Day 3 and 4: Kakadu National Park. Today we were in paradise. Went through hell to get there but we really found paradise. But I will get to that after talking about yesterday first. We are now truly in the Outback and have 0 cell phone network for 2 days already with probably 2 more days to go, so probably a lot of days will need to be posted on this blog at once. They call it the Outback for a reason. So, about yesterday. Yesterday started in the same way ...

Day 2 - from Darwin to Kakadu: today started in the same way as yesterday. At 00:50 Olivia woke up and so did we. Tough as we are, we did not get up this time and pretended to be a sleep... For about 30 minutes and then went to her to get her to sleep again. That worked after an hour or so and then I fell asleep again. Hanne didn't.

Day 1 - Darwin: our first "real" day in Darwin started at 00h44 with Olivia waking up from jetlag. We had slept 6 hours already and our body thought it was 16h14 so I felt as awake as Olivia.

Next memorable moment of the day was at 11h30 when the cleaning lady woke us up. I...

And so the journey begins... With probably the biggest challenge first: 36 hours of travelling, with Olivia, on our lap. And what a start indeed: after 1 hour of flying Hanne found out the hard way that you should NEVER use non-Pampers diapers. Olivia had warned us upfront by saying "pipi" but we didnt realise she meant "pipi is coming out of diaper onto mama". Luckily we had spare clothes for Olivia... Not for Hanne though. Only 35 more hours to go, smelling "di...

We havent been here for a while which was to be expected since there is nothing to write about untill we actually leave... Or almost nothing, because we meanwhile booked our tickets. And this implies the timings of our itinerary are now officially locked. Another step closer to the trip of our lives. Here are our flights: Sept 2: we leave from Bxl to London to Sydney. This will be the flight from hell... Over 36 hours incl the flight to Darwin... With Olivia w...
