Well today was a complete break. Didn’t get out of bed early, read my book then wandered down to the thermal pool soaked, even read my book some more.
Somehow I fitted lunch in at the cafe, booked my accommodation for Darwin,
decided to stay here another night and now writing my blog and about to finish my book – well maybe.
Yep, just what a lazy Sunday should be. Oh I did manage to squeeze in a late afternoon soak in the pool. I did give my left leg a workout in the water – more of the same tomorrow I suspect.
Oh by the way the pool is supplied with a flow of 30.5million litres of fresh water (34C) per day. Unbelievable!!!!
The water flows over rocks at the end of the pool down a small stream and into the Waterhouse River that feeds the Roper River. There are fresh water crocs present, and occasionally after the wet season they have to look for the salties and clear them before opening the river for swimming. I’ll stay in the thermal pool thank you very much.
Oh, yesterday a 3-4m python happily slid into the thermal pool and they say some people could walk on water in their attempt to get out.
aghhh yes i do remember swimming in the river for a while until Glenn (or may have been Wade) were so kind to remind me that there were salties in there!!! I think it might have been the fastest i have ever moved!!!!
