We arrived here yesterday in the evening thinking of washing off the sweat and taking a break from the tent in a nicer hostel only to find out that everything was booked out in this city. Well we should have known better - it’s the so called Dry now and tourism is at its peak. The Dry is the season where it does not rain, the sun is out without a cloud in the sky and temperatures are comfortably niiiiiiice. Yes yes … there is also the Wet, and when the rains hit later on in November it rains very well for many months flooding down roads and making tourism possible only for crocodile hunters with 4WD trucks. Anyhow, we ended up staying at a caravan park in our tent over at a cool resort near Lee’s Point. We restocked on water, took those much needed showers too, did laundry and recharged our batteries. Later on in the evening we hit up the city for the Mandil Beach Sunset Market where delicious food, fire juggling, mellow music, a sunset and beer was plenty.
