It's getting hot up here

Just got a few minutes before I leave with my lift up to Darwin. I have spent the last 2-3 days in Broome, just a little bit North East of Exmouth, where the heat and humidity have shot up to tropical levels. It's hot. And sweaty. I coped with this by sitting by the pool, drinking beer and playing lots of travel scrabble. I think the beer helped most. Either way, it's time to press on North now, with the next few days hearlding 8-10 hour drives through high 30's / low 40's heat in a car with little or no air-con. I'm thinking of it as a 4-day health spa which really focuses on saunas - hopefully I'll come out of this week a few pounds lighter :)

More news when I get to Darwin...
