:-( The flies are terrible.
:-( There’s no Heineken to be found in the Outback! Talk about hardship…
:-( It’s hard to find good coffee here, especially in the supermarket. Almost only instant.
: -( You should see the flies here.
:-( We keep hearing about killer jellyfish, crocs, spiders, snakes.. That sort of stuff starts to take a toll on the mind. And don’t ever forget to lift up a toilet seat before sitting on it. You do have to check for tiny but deadly spiders…
:-( We have a sunburn. And sand in unmentionable places.
:-( There’s just two of us. If you want a new conversation it gets limited sometimes.
:-( When we run out of a book to read, all we can do is hope to find a book exchange in the next campground. New paperbacks are $20.- here.
:-( Our stove has 3 burners but you can only fit two small pans on it at once.
:-( Did I mention the flies?
:-( Our fridge is about a quarter of a normal one. And it’s full of beer. “Baby beer,” Kees says, referring to the alcohol content of 2.5%.
:-( Almost no internet, and if we can get it it’s expensive.
:-( You should see the flies. They like beer.
:-( Our bathroom is about half the size of a small broom closet. Try pulling up your pants in that.
:-( We see more roadkill than houses.
There. I hope this makes you feel better.
Now I have to run. To the gorgeous white sand beach with the blue water and palm trees. Sorry.
