Hello all!
It’s been more than 1 week since I arrived in Darwin in the state of the Northern Territory. I moved to another Time Zone and I am now 7h30 later than you in France by the way. The city is really enjoyable. With 150000 citizens it’s a small city compared to Perth but it’s very lively. It’s not easy to restrain compulsions, money is burning a hole in your pocket in a city like that. There are lots of places to go out to during the night and lots of restaurants, snacks, shops…
You can find two water parks with slides and games around the city and the access is completely free, which is a good thing given the temperature here. I have to admit that except for the hot weather, I really like this city. Back in Kununurra, I was about to skip Darwin and stop in Katherine before heading east. I’m glad I changed my mind and came up here.
Actually, the main purpose of this long stop in Darwin was to sell our car. We thought it would be easier to sell it here. If we missed the first shot because the buyers pulled out of the deal, in the end after 7 days, we sold it on Tuesday to some Australians.
We saw Antonia and the girls with whom we had traveled by bus until Broome. They had arrived a few days before us. We enjoyed the Darwin festival which is taking place at the moment and spent some time at the Waterfront. It is a special beach so that everyone can enjoy the sea. Actually it’s impossible to go to the beach and swim in the sea cause the salties (saltwater crocodile) are roaming.
What now?
We’ve got our money back, Marion is going to Asia and Marko and I will try to find a lift to Cairns. If we can’t find a lift together, we will probably take a flight. If we go straight to Cairns, I would like to find a new host and settle down somewhere for a while. I miss the time where I could do some stuff and hack on my computer and I would like to immerge myself back into an Australian family.
This article is a bit short I know but actually I didn’t do much since I’ve been here.
See you soon!
