4D 4 D-D

4 days for D-days, aka Departure-Day.

For those fans who have been anxiously waiting for updates in my blog (I doubt there will be any fan but all the same), I have to say that I have been more active in my other blog (the wine one) plus been busy with work, weekend trips to Burgos (Atapuerca) , trips to Murcia to meet my baby nephew, birthday (25H), booking for Paris marathon, joining a running club and go only twice, seeing opportunities go by and and getting depressed about it, and getting excited on new plans.
The fact is and was that I have been lacking inspiration to write something for the public. But now got more things to tell.

This week has been hectic and productive in traveling plans. Have not spent the time than I should but i managed the following:

• Found that i could get to visit Beijing city on my plane transfer, But unfortunately i cannot have enough time to get the Chinese Visa. Positive thought I know how to do it for the next time,and learn that the Chinese embassy web is totally useless.

• Bought the camera for the trip, and although the manuals are provided are only in French, Dutch and German, i got the pdf in Spanish. And it was 50 € cheaper than marker. PT some internet web places work good.

• I have arranged 3 of the 4 weeks of the trip, with flights and accommodation:

-10th Nov- 16th Sydney
Accommodation: Y City South Hotel
Possible trip to the Blue Mountains Park.
-16th Nov flight to Cairns arriving at 12:45.
-16-22Nov Cairns.
Accommodation: hostels Tropical days+Travelers oasis
Possible trips:Great reef, rain forest, Cape Tribulation.
Activities: Diving, snorkel, rafting.
-22nd flight to Darwin arriving at 22:00
-23rd 5:30 am 7D adventure trip from Darwin to Alice Springs
Kakadu National Park, Ayers rock among other places. Various trekking days. Three of the days sleeping in permanent camps.

Positive Thought: everything. Pity that I am traveling alone.

• Got most of the things I need bought, including things that I never consider, for example mosquito net. I still need to try to put everything together and decide on few things, and specially find them, as some i cannot remember where i stored them. Good thing i still have one day, Saturday. PT almost all done.
