Driving to Darwin

We were ready to head of around 8.30 this morning ready to head to Darwin. We are all a bit over driving so the day dragged out a bit. We hit 5000kms as we passed through Katherine! The termite mounds went from 1 - 2 foot high to maybe 3 meters by the time we reached Darwin. We also had to drive through a few bush fires, mostly burnt out but still smouldering. There are a lot of fires in this area at the moment but for the most part the appear to be left to burn themselves out.

We set up at the Darwin Free Spirit Resort while the girls checked out the three swimming pools we set up and got organised and had cheese and biscuits for afternoon tea once the girls came back. It is much hotter than we expected up here. But as the afternoon breeze kicked in just after 4.30 we began to feel like we could relax.

The girls went back to the pool and we went for a walk around the park. The cafe next to the pool looks like a nice spot for dinner one night before we leave. As for tonight, something quick and early to bed. Joe and I are exhausted!もっと詳しく
