Now, we have had the pleasure of trying the bushcamper in real life, and even in the rush hour in Darwin City, she’s acting like a good daugther, doing as we tell her:
Driving quite safely in the left (challenging and with a danes kind of thoughts wrong) side of the road and the engine running smoothly with the sweestest sound, as Peter says.
Who´is the driver so far? – Peter of course, and he is doing a very good job. I’ll wait until …. Yeah… let’s see.
Then cruising happily down the Northern Stuart Highway, 15 minutes from Darwin Peter says:
”By the way, my fathers cousin has a piece of land some where out there, pointing at a big bunch of hectares. I visited him 22 years ago, let’s go finding him and say hallo”.
Things have developed since then, but like playing on a winning horse we stopped, looked at the possibilities, and chosed one house among plenty, and in front of a green field – there he was, Henning Olsen, Darwin.
In this moment, relaxing in the hotel room, before a late night bedtime we can look back on a beautiful evening together with Henning and Kurt & Dorthe (two old relatives from Denmark) in another wonderful spot of Australia. Thank’s guys – cool night and what a delicious homemade seafood fondue, Henning J.
Tomorrow we are heading forward to Litchfield National Park, 120 kilometres south west of Darwin, starting the real bushcamper life.
The heat is actually our kind of style, not as hot and humid as it could have been, so we are in a good shape and are ready to doing business with the wildlife as backpackers dressed in ranger boots and sunscreen.
Åh:
… At tage alle disse indtryk ind, tygge på dem, nyde og smage … tygge lidt mere / putte det helt op i ganen med et: ”Uhm, DET DERSENS ”krydderi” hører til på gastronomiens absolut øverste hylde” - føle sig som i eventyrland og så bagefter koble sig på en heavy betalt internetopkobling, oversætte alt det ”mellem linierne”! Det er lidt af en udfordring. Hmmm. Som de nok ville sige det her i OZ: ”It drives a man from his cattle farm”.
– Tror måske der kommer et par danske beretninger, hvor de danske gloser danser lidt lettere ud af min mund, så bær over, hvis det bliver lidt tungt.
Ellers er swahili måske et godt alternativ? Er der nogen, der byder ind med gode råd der, mate?
Love og go’nat
Peter and Charlotte
