Arriving in Darwin






Well after a wonderful time in Litchfield we arrived in Darwin Friday (July 20th) late afternoon in time to relax before we headed out to the famous Darwin night markets. Arriving at the markets we realize it was a lot bigger than expected as there was no parking for blocks. The markets are in the parking lot at Mindil Beach. They had great live music in more than one place from the didgeridoo to the Spanish guitar. The food vendors gave you such a wide variety of food that many people go just to grab a bite and watch the sunset. Our favourite vendor was one called the Road Kill Cafe with the slogan “you kill it we grill it”, they had everything from crocodile to wombat. Casey & I grabbed some food and wandered around the numerous vendors. The next day we did some laundry etc., dropped off our vehicle and picked up our next one for the next part of our trip. We felt like this one was the luxury model as it was a 2007 loaded RV with full bathroom and kitchen. It was nice!! Sunday we went through some WW II storage tunnels and the government house which was having an open house is where the Queen & princes of Wales stay. In the evening we headed to Mindil Beach to enjoy dinner and the sunset over the ocean. It was absolutely breathtaking. Monday we were off again onto the road
