I will start with the trip, which was probably the longest trip I have ever done. I started at Copenhagen Airport and my goal was Jabiru in Kakadu National Park. It took me about 3 days....
I flew from Copenhagen to Bangkok, a flight that took about 10 hours. I arrived 6 in the morning and had 18 hours in Bangkok. Luckily I was aloud to leave the airport, so I went to the nice "little" shopping centre MBK, only 8 floors :) There, I had a 2 hour massage, had lunch and dinner at 2 different restaurants and went for some cheap shopping off course. Then I went back to the airport, had a shower, slept for 3 hours and then it was time for my next 10 hour flight to Perth. In Perth I only spend 4 hours and then had a 3 hour flight to get to Darwin, where I after 44 long hours got to see Carlos :D Which made it all worth it :D
We had hired a car so we could get around town, because we had to get a place to stay for the night. I arrived around 17.30 Friday night, so we did not have much time. And since there was a horse race on in Darwin, a lot of the places were booked out... So in the end, after checking about 7 places, we ended up in a hotel, a bit expensive, but a comfy bed to sleep in:)
On Saturday morning, at 9 o'clock, we had a meeting with our new bosses. Where we got all the paperwork and all the information we needed. Then we went and picked up our uniforms and started looking around for a cheap car (or a shit box, which Carlos calls it). We found a Hyundai Sonata for 1900dollars and then we dropped the rental at the airport, before driving 3 hours out into Kakadu National Park... Out into the unknown....
When we arrived, we had a problem getting a hold of the chief pilot, who had the keys to our unit. But we reached him after about an hour and got our keys and everything worked out :) Our unit is like what we would call a "mark lagenhet" in Sweden. It is one pretty big bedroom, an all right kitchen with a joint living room, a bathroom with washing machine and a quite big backyard. I like the place, all though, we do not spend much time here, since we are doing 10 hour days... But katching katching in the bank account :D
