We woke up this morning in our little double room - and I have to say, in the nick of time - no sooner had I opened my eyes and said 'hello' to Nikki, when some slats fell out of the stupid bed! With that, we got straight up and went had had some free pancakes from the hostel kitchen - before checking out and moving to the hostel directly opposite - the YHA.
Once we had dumped our bags in the YHA we went out for a nice walk. We walked all along the Esplanade again - but this time in the opposite direction. When we made it back to the centre, we were both really thirsty and had a smoothie each.
This afternoon we booked to go to Kakadu National Park on Tuesday and then caught the bus to a place called Fannie Bay - where we went to the Museum and Art Gallery. Both were really cool, filled with all sorts of Aboriginal art and history.
When we got back later this evening, we got ready and then went out to Nando's for some food. Apparently it's new to Darwin, so we were really lucky to get a table - it was packed! Afterwards we came back and did a Skype call with Nikki's Mum and Katie. It was really nice to see them for the first time in 6 months, although I think we were more excited than they were, because at one point or another, during the call, they both got up and walked away - at one point, both at the same time!
With that call ended, Nikki rang her Grandma Iles to wish her a Happy Birthday - and also got to speak to her Uncle Bob - so all in all, quite a good evening on the family side!
Even free pancakes weren't enough to keep us at the Wilderness Lodge - the place stank!
Happy Birthday Grandma Iles!
