Bitter Springs then Katherine Gorge

At the Bitter Springs caravan park you can hire a "noodle" then walk down the road 500 metres to Bitter Springs.  It is so pretty and the water is crystal clear and you jump in and float with the current down the small stream with palms on either side and spiders in the trees and water lillies on the side.  If you just float with your "noodle" down the stream it takes about 15-30 minutes and it is so relaxing - you hop out when you get to the bridge then a short walk back to the start to do it all over again!  Marina and Pascale arrived at the campground so it was nice to see them again and we went down the springs so I will put on a photo of me on the blog when they email me a copy.  We had a big cookup that night in the camp kitchen and the next morning I did pancakes - yum.    The next day I drove into to Katherine and out to the gorge and met up with M and P again and we had a swim in the gorge and then went up to watch the sunset over the gorge - we took up dips etc.but the ants discovered the food very quickly and nearly carried us away!  The view and the sunset was amazing.  The Northern Territory is so beautiful and the Katherine Gorge is stunning.    I stayed the night and the park and said goodbye to M and P as they were heading off to town then Kakadu on their way to Darwin.   Thank you Marina and Pascale for your company over the week - it was great to have someone to enjoy my adventures with Myrtle!  I am staying in Katherine tonight and then probably off to Kakadu tomorrow or maybe not.
