Slept pretty good despite the kids having fun outside.

I walked to the marina and had a lovely coffee, looking at the birds and fish and stuff. It’s a super ritzy and developed area and lots of roving yuppies made for a non-challenging morning.

The Darwin bus system is a disgrace so I just walked everywhere.

In short order, I saw the backpacker street, the esplanade, the waterfront, the wharf, the wwII tunnels, the shopping mall, the heritage area, the government buildings, and the botanical garden.

So, I’d have to say that one day in Darwin is plenty of time, because it was only 2 PM when I gave up and got day drunk in front of the t.v.

This cost me 20 bucks and took me to dinnertime.

Finally I found somebody to have dinner with, and we had a nice evening walking around the downtown area.

I feel bad for the backpackers who plan too many days here.

Tomorrow it’s my third and final tour. Headed to Litchfield and Kakadu national parks for waterfalls, boat rides, and more dirt roads.

C U in 3 days.
