Kimberley Coast Cruise of Australia, Part 1

 Our first day was a sea day so while we were busy and had fun, I will say no more.  Well I will point out to you that we will not visit a city or town until we get to Broome which is the end of the journey.  You cannot drive to any of the places we are going.  You can get relatively close to some of them, but never where we will be.  The next day was our first "port" day.  We went to the opening for King George River and its twin waterfalls.  

While it is remote, Seabourn keeps its reputation up and serves a glass of champagne when we get to the falls.

Kakadu National Park, "Top End" Australia

 It is easy to forget how big Australia is. Our flight from Sydney to Darwin will take around 5 hours so similiar to crossing the US from the East to the West Coasts.  Once we land, we get our stuff and our rental car and Jeff practices driving on the wrong side of the road for a minute and we are off.  We are ultimately heading for the Kakadu National Park, but want to pick up some provisions first so we are stopping at a shopping mall/center with a grocery store.  We are heading out to a big land of nothingness and it is hot like a southern US summer day so humid too.  The Aussies recommend 3 liters of water per person per day, we won't do that much but we do buy water and some fruit and granola bars for snacks.  Now we are off.  Off down a long straight 2 lane road for 3 hours till we hit the large thriving metropolis of Jabiru.
