Cleaning toilets in a national park..

So, long time no see, we're in Kakadu National Park, working as profesional toilet cleaners 6 - 7 hours every day! On Aurora Kakadu Lodge.. Apparently a 5 star caravan park or something, haha, nothing wrong with the toilets at the moment at least;) So it is not the most interesting job, and Jabiru, local community is not the biggest either, 1500 people, and that's it, a supermarket, post, bank, library.. Yep.. Oh, and a bakery and a petrol station.. Yeah, lods to do;) But we're working all the time, and it is fine:) Saving money like crazy, eating porridge for breakfast everyday, like all norwegians, and making huge portions of fiskegrateng so we have dinner for a week at the time:)
It is not so much happening, and not so much to tell you, I guess the blog will stay silent for a while(as internet only happens Tuesdays and Thursdays, in the Library...) and we're mostly working and sleeping and watching TV.. Like you are, I guess:) Not much to write home about, hahaha!
Can tell you about the wildlife we get to see:) I was so lucky to have a baby python(yes, the snake) on my doorstep the second night here, haha, which was quite interesting, other than that we see and hear a lot of Kakadus( the white parrot bird thing), lizzards, geckos, ants ants ants everywhere, and other strange creatures I don't know the name of;) We still haven't seen anything of the park itself, and rainseason is here, so I guess the number of tourist tours we can join are fewer and fewer every week. We'll see, I hope to get tp go fishing with our boss, Peter, cause then I might get a bigger fish than Pappa ever got, haha, in his life, and then he might want to come and visit us;) We're talking 5 meter long fish( no we're not) but the barracuda gets quite big... I hope to, if it happens, then I have something to tell you, hehehe:)
So we're not so much on the internet anymore, since it is only two days a week, but nothing is happening anyways.. Now you know that we are alive and kicking, at least:)
Have a great autumn!
Here everyone says it is spring, but it is 40 degrees everyday, and I can't believe we're able to work at all, but so far so good:)
