Hi folks, still no access to photos but a word portrait. Christmas morning we got our luggage, the best possible present, we had Christmas lunch at Pee Wees on the point at Darwin, so so , loads of food and far too much wine, great location and service. We crashed out in the late afternoon and recovered enough for a few restorative cuppas in the evening. Boxing day was taken up with a drive to the Lichfield National Park where with the temperature in the mid 90s we enjoyed a refreshing dip in the rock pools and a look at one of the waterfalls. We sussed out the bus depot and road train yards ready for this mornings exploration. Mandy and Sue have gone off to Kakadu NP Crocodile Dundee country. It poured yesterday afternoon and again overnight, still looking a bit bleak but of course still hot and humid so fingers crossed. Eat in the Irish pub at the back of Saville hotel last night, portions too big to be true, service pretty crap though. Locals a sight to behold, women mostly pregnant , men with large beards, tattoos, broken knees and poorly dressed, Hillbilly country and not much on the telly at night me thinks. Tomorrow we have the flight down t Adelaide where we'll catch up with Alan Mortimer.
Saviulle hotel suites, not bad, 4 star ok but the back packer place is at rear with noisy music, ok if you keep your windows shut and keep off the balcony, Irish pub also suffered from rubbish modern ' music' blaring out, really spoilt it for me. Fruit bats all around when dark, parrots in the daytime, lizards etc abound, no roos yet much to the dismay of Sue, plenty of time to go though.
