Off to the airport, we are heading to Darwin!

A pretty scenic flight. I really haven’t seen Australia. It was great to have such a lovely view the whole way. We landed in Darwin around lunchtime and headed out to the boat club. We hired a car for 2 days and got upgraded to this brand new fancy af Ford Ranger. This thing has all the bells and whistles.

Bellies full, we head to Anaconda to get Rowan some new sunglasses. From there we hunted down our airbnb. It is the top apartment in an older block, there are new blocks around us much higher. Once we figured out where everything is we jumped in the pool to cool down. The heat is not bad, I feared a lot worse.

For dinner we are going to the Mindel Sunset Markets. There is a great variety of food. We shared a delicious tuna, avocado, mango nachos, while watching the sunset.

Once the sun goes over the horizon the strangest thing happens. I promise I am not making this up. The 5 thousand or so people clap. Yes clap, like at the end of a show. It made me laugh, the three of us looked around these people are all crazy. I find out later that it is a thing, they always clap haha.

After the sun has set we wonder around in the dark sampling food around the markets.

Once we are back at the apartment I jump into bed. I am absolutely pooped!
