Mindil Beach

And again.....warm and humid. We have adjusted our day to suit. An early morning walk, housekeeping, swim, then a few shops and supermarket to top up before we leave for Kakadu on Saturday. Lessons learned from yesterday with both of us suffering from midge bites. Insect repellent at the ready.

The famous Mindil markets were open so we visited along with thousands of others. Quite a walk as the very large carpark was bursting and overflowing to any space that would fit a car was also packed. There were a lot of food stalls with plenty of choice. Laksa was definitely on our menu and finished off with cold coconut and mango shakes. Such a family atmosphere there and no alcohol sales.

We then walked out onto Mindil Beach to hundreds more people all sitting and enjoying the slightly cooler breeze and sunset. Social distancing really didn't exist by the food stalls. So many people. It is so nice to have lovely warm evenings and freedom to attend events unlike our friends and family in VIC and NSW.Read more
