Seeing as Darwin was in touching distance, we allowed ourselves a little extra time in bed this morning, and woke up at 7.30am. Before doing anything else, we ran over to the swimming pool and went for a swim - it was lovely and warm - both in and out of the water. Afterwards we had showers, had some breakfast and then moved on.
We had no problems getting into the city of Darwin and drove around looking for a hostel. We booked into one, Wilderness Lodge, for one night and then went for a smoothie before returning Bruce back to Britz Car Rentals. They were really impressed with us, because we got the van there using less kilometers than what their chart says it should take!
When we got back to the centre we went out exploring and then came back to the hostel for some lunch. Afterwards we went out exploring again and went for a nice walk along the Esplanade, which took us past Parliament House.
Tonight we went to the cinema, to watch a British comedy called Death At A Funeral, which was VERY funny! It was also really cool (temperature wise) in there, so that made us happy too - it's about 34° outside, which although is cooler than what it was in the Outback, is still taking some getting used to.
Goodbye Bruce - thanks for the lift!
Happy 40th Birthday Jason!
