Desert to Berri

I miss the desert already. Chantal and I had to split up to come back to Adelaide. I went with my friend Tom, across the desert in two days, and she went on a tour with another friend, and a full bus of people. A week apart was interesting, we met up in Coober Pedy for one night of ridiculously mental partying. 

How cute is that baby Emo? Tom and I start a very long drive back to Adelaide, pretty much 9 - 10 hours a day of driving, but we stopped to see some cool stuff on the way, like this Goana. It's only a small one, but you can definitely tell he's a male...

Stopped into the salt lake, that actually had a little bit of water in it this time, we collected some salt to give to his dad.

When we got to Coober Pedy, we just hung out, drank some beer, watched the sunset, and waited for Chaz and Sid's tour bus. This guy Chris in the batgirl costume is our next travel buddy...

Lazers, Strobe, Bubble machine, and a fog machine in an underground hostel, and you get a night like we had in Coober, and i barely remember any of it. There was a water fight though. Definitely. 

After a couple of nights in Adelaide we are on the road to the country, a place called Berri where Tom grew up. This was one of the coolest moments in Berri. Tom literally ran up a tree to get this angry female monitor...

Stops to swim!

We are very well while camping, travelling with two tour guides and a chef comes with its perks.

Swags

Sid

This is a picture of a brown snake that we saw while camping in Berri, after this picture we found out it was dead. Still, the second most venomous snake in the world.

Camping by the river, in swags, let the fishing begin. Tom fishes with spears though, so this is gonna be fun.

Ernie's game

Rope swing!

Chris and I

The sunrise at camp

And more fishing!

Someone gave me a spear... dear god

Tom

Chantal and I borrow Tom's 4WD and go for a spin around the dunes, we challenge the beast to some clay and mud, we got er' stuck, but we managed to get er' out again. In the mean time, we had a blast. Tom never told us not to get it stuck, he just kindly ask we not get lost ...

The last supper before we head back to Adelaide, we all say goodbye to Tomas.

Once again. amazing people, amazing time. I've had a real adventure on this trip to the desert and back, I've never felt so relaxed and comfortable with myself and the people around me. This is a new experience and I'm glad I'm here. I'm very happy to be able to share this with my best friend as well.
