Went to
bed early yesterday as it got dark at 17:00. Read a bit in Napoleon
Hills 'Think and grow rich' and listened to some ReWild Yourself
podcast episodes. A lot of interesting stuff is presented in this
podcast, many things I want to aim to implement when I'm finished
with this trip to bring my life to yet another level.
Woke up early as it was
getting light outside and the birds started to sing. After the usual
morning meditation session, I enjoyed a yogurt with the lot of
super-foods outdoors, watching the sun rising. There is no phone
reception here at Lake Argyle, hence the normal (bad!) morning
routine of checking emails, messages and the stock exchange was
happily interrupted by sitting quietly, with a free open mind and
focusing on nature. Very enjoyable.
In Kununurra, the regional
center, I had a second breakfast at Wild Mango – the coffee shop I
liked two years ago too, when we did the rugged Kimberley adventuretour. The coffee is still very good, and a nearby place has some
free, yet slow WiFi. Blogging feels so much harder, when I struggle
with internet connection and battery power.

Had a chat with an
Australian working in the hospital at Kununurra in a sort of fly in
fly out arrangement. Gave me some quite good tips about the area and
which helicopter trips to try and get on to.
The drive to Wyndham was
quite scenic. Drove the road out to the port, but not much of
interest there. However, the Five River Lookout on the top of the
hill is another story: an amazing view over the surrounding
landscape. Apparently the tides are quite extreme up here, more than
6m today!

The campsite in Wyndham
was a very positive surprise, great facilities and free WiFi, hence
the chance to update the blog once more today and download some more
podcasts for the drive, before heading out in the wilderness.

Met two Swiss girls in the
camp kitchen and we had a lengthy chat. They are on a three week
holiday in Australia and have chosen to do Darwin to Broome in a
camper van. Unusual but awesome choice if I may say so.
The moon is almost full
tonight, official full moon is tomorrow.
Distance traveled: 205km
