HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM DOWN UNDER

Hi Folks,
Christmas greetings from Darwin Australia, its 7 am here, and we have just got our Christmas presents, our luggage which arrived a day after us. No usb port so can't post the wonderful sunset pics from last night. The flight was good except wheelchair assistance in Frankfurt was a farce and they deserve to be hung drawn and quartered! Singapore was spot on, Quantas have a no frills business Star Crap airlines which did the last sector to Darwin , very basic but still expensive, no one local likes the change. Shocked to find we had no cases but reassured it was a regular feature and not to worry. Well they were correct. The hotel The Saville is fine, lots of space and the Irish pub which serves enormous portions is at the back of us. We had to do some clothes shopping Christmas eve so we had clothes to wear but Mandy is busy unpacking right now. We had a sunset cruise on a catamaran how do you spell one of them?? Weather about mid 90s and sunny, parrots outside the windows, dolphins in the sea, Guinness was good as well last night. Went to bed 9.45 got up at 7, although previous guest had left the alarm on for 5.30, oh boy. Black ice and sleet in Melbourne hope that's gone by time we get there, everyone talks nothing but cricket, yawn. Found the bus stations already. Today Chrissie dinner at Pee Wees on the point in Darwin, tomorrow a trip to Lichfield national park in the little 4x4 car we have which is pretty and blue and seems to do the job fine. Well greetings again everyone.
