Darwin!

What a day we have had! I can hardly wait till we can fully upload some photos too. A group of the Boomerangs got together a couple of nights ago to decide what to do in Darwin. We decided to get a hire car and see where and what all would like to do. Disembarkation was a big pain, for some reason there was issues with the gangway and our plans for Bill to get off the ship early were quickly changed Bill was on deck 5 at the front, then had to go to deck 7 thus making him at the back and then they changed it back to deck 5 making poor Bill way at the back, in fact it took a few hours for people to get off the ship. Our little group stayed comfortably in the Atrium chatting away and then tethered to my phone for some Internet while we waited. we then made our way to a comfortable air conditioned area picked up some brochures and then before we knew it we were in the car off to the wildlife park. The gps took us the wrong way so we had to back track a little but we got there, yet again we were able to get a great discount at a $10 off the ticket price per person or with car hire, fuel it was about $30 per adult. You certainly cannot argue with prices like that, especially as the company is loads of fun and buckets of laughs.
The cafe at the Northern Territory Wildlife park was fine,salads, wraps, potato wedges, chips, the usual fare but really nice. There is a train carriage pulled by a car that drives you around the park making it really easy to get about for older people. We made our way to the dingo exhibit then to the aquarium and then easily met the train again to go to the birds of flight exhibit which was awesome! Getting our way back to town was easy however being Sunday the shops were closed so we dropped most of the group off and a few of us had a short walk around the city before walking back to the ship. All in all an amazing day, loads of laughs and lots more memories.
