Day 10 (Continued)

The plane to Darwin appeared to be populated solely by Americans from California. Next to me was a father/daughter pair definitely from Beverly Hills; across the aisle a businessman seemingly also from LA.

However, arrival in Darwin is what backpack travel is all about. Stepping off the plane I was immediately struck by the immense humidity, reminiscent of China and Thailand. This was reinforced when I arrived at the YHA -- basic accommodations surrounded by tens of "budget travelers" buying food at outdoor stalls, writing postcards, etc. It's great and I'm almost sorry that I have to leave so early tomorrow. But I will be back soon enough.
