Final miles

I officially consider today the last day of my backpack-journey. I'm in Darwin at the moment, and tonight I'll be flying back to Sydney, which I consider my hometown here, to stay with my hostfamily for a few days, see my friends again and fly home next Tuesday, 7 May. The reason I fly home 6 weeks earlier than planned is, obviously, money.
In the last few weeks I've seen loads of amazing scenery, sometimes as beautiful as what I consider paradise. Starting with the Uluru, at sunset. The touristic viewing point with people and tourist buses everywhere was a bit of a shame, but when I got to the front line, I saw what I'd been hoping to see for so long.
I was actually surprised by how beautiful Kata-Tjuta (the Olgas) was. We did the Valley of the Winds walk there, so we walked in between the rocks, that was pretty stunning.
I don't have my laptop with me, so I'm not able to put my photos anywhere, but I'll post them here as soon as I can. Although you'll probably never be able to see how beautiful it really was, sometimes even the best camera just doesn't suffice.
After Alice Springs, Katherine was next. There I saw Katherine Gorge, where I did a 4-hour-walk and ended up swimming underneath a waterfall, in crystal clear water.
After that, I went to visit a friend who lives in Kununurra, that's in the East-Kimberley, often called the most beautiful part of Australia. And it was indeed. Beautiful sunsets, driving through rivers with crocodiles in them, camping in El Questro and seeing Cathedral Gorge in the Bungle Bungles, which even made me cry because of its beauty. Oh, and the hot weather of course, the average temperature is 35 degrees.
From what I've heard, the temperature at home is 15 degrees. I know that that's really hot for you Dutchies, but, according to my calculations, from the 6 out of 8 months that I've been here, I've had 35-40 degrees. Oops. I'm so gonna freeze to death when I get home.
