A four hour flight is not too bad, Just enough time to watch most of the latest Harry Potter movie with Josh, eat our sushi rolls, have a nanna nap and begin to get leg cramps. Oh to be like Alexander who was asleep before the flight had left the runway!
Darwin is hot and humid. Managed to find a mini bus to take all of us to our hotel only probelm was that I couldn't remember the name of our hotel, which was OK because I had the receipt on my laptop - except my laptop was flat! So here we are in Darwin searching Wotif.com for a hotel which started with A. Thankfully there are not too many hotels in Darwin that start with A so we managed to find it. I was not having a great start to Darwin I managed to loose the receipt for the return bus trip before I even got on the bus, its probably buried somewhere in the pile of luggage. You could almost hear the groans of the other passengers on the bus when we get off the bus to look for a receipt. As we were driving to our hotel we hear this very excited yell "Oh look an autobarn" the entire bus, including us turn and look at Josh but I guess fatigue was setting in we all just shrugged our shoulders and left him to his excitment.
Thankfully the "A" hotel was ours and we could check in, change out of winter clothes for quite possibly the last time in quite a while - except Alexander of course - and hit the streets of Darwin.
My trip to Darwin continued on its downward spiral as I ushered my family across the road against the lights and nearly got us all run over! Not a promising start. How will I manage to cross the road in a country that drives on the wrong side if I struggle in my own country. I guess I am about to find out as tomorrow we farewell Australia.
