We actually slept-in
today until after 8am! Amazing. It helps that sunrise is at a reasonable hour
now. Our breakfast and pack up were leisurely as well and we bade farewell to
Litchfield and hello to Darwin after a short drive north.
Darwin Free Spirit
Resort is enormous! It has over 300 sites, most of them full, in addition to 3
swimming pools, a jumping pillow and various chalets, units, a restaurant and a
bar. It is very lush and tropical and it is hot. Hopefully this will continue
through to tonight as well. I'm a bit over being freezing at night.
Two loads of washing
and a site set-up later and we set out for fish and chips (Barramundi of
course) eaten in one of the Esplanade parks of the city proper. We saw world
war 2 memorials and explained the significance of Darwin and the bombing of the
city in 1942 to the children. Later this week we hope to visit a WWII museum
and the oil tunnels.
Rowan's highlight
was a self cleaning, electronic toilet which played us music while we did our
business and automatically blow dried his hands after washing. We visited the
tourist information centre and collected lots of brochures (I think Rowan tried
getting one of everything in the place!) and some insight into how to spend
some of our time here, then strolled through the main shopping mall in the
city. It is very relaxed and laid back up here, to go with the heat.
Time to kick back,
relax, jump on the bouncy pillow and settle in.
