Darwin, NT

Saturday, Nov 26: Darwin Is one of Australia’s northernmost cities, the capital of the Northern Territory – and very humid today, as we made our way into town. Last time we were here we did a lot of walking, but the heat hit us as we left the air con behind and we decided to get on the shuttle bus instead.

We have both been to Darwin numerous times, so we just had a stroll around the shopping mall and had our usual glass of Top End beer.

After we purchased our shuttle bus tickets, we discovered a “hop on hop off” bus which would have taken us to two museums and an art gallery that we haven’t seen yet.

We will no doubt be back in the future, so that will be something new to do next time!

Sail Away

Friday, Nov 18: We boarded the Sun Princess this afternoon and set sail late in the day for our trip to Western Australia. It feels like home to be on board again.

Here is our room. Small entry and bathroom not shown. This is an ocean view room with an obstructed view. So you get a window but the lifeboat is obstructing it, which is fine with us, at least you get some light coming in.
