Darwin

Finally on the grand journey I spent some time in Darwin with Dennis.

Taking the flight home.

My family didn't know I was coming home this early. When I - after flying from Darwin to Singapore to England where I waiting in Heathrow Airport for 15 hours to fly to Copenhagen Airport and took the 3 ½ hours trip by train to Hadsten - called them they got very surprised indeed...

Croc Farm

In the country side surrounding Darwin we visited a crocodile farm. It was really cool to check out so many crocs in one place - and they even had a movie star: the crocodile used in the first Crocodile Dundee movie.

I had a very nice burger with crocodile beef. It tasted amazingly geeeewd!
