We enjoyed a smooth flight to Darwin, and the clouds in the sky lined up for us to enjoy.
On arrival, we quickly found a taxi to bring us to Argus Apartments, although the driver did drop us off at the wrong spot. We have a very spacious ground floor apartment, and the air conditioners
were running, as well as the overhead fans. After settling in, we decided to walk down to the shops in Darwin and find some lunch. This proved a little difficult, as at 2.30, a lot of cafes were closing the lunch trade. However, we did find a great Asian takeaway in an arcade.

As Kwong was taking a photo of the three of us, a very kind lady offered to take it for him, so here we are in front of a small park in central Darwin. His Samsung phone is quite amazing, to take a photo, all you need to do is say “smile”.
After some shopping at Woolworths, we made our way back to our apartment, and rested (collapsed in a heap) until it was time to go out for dinner.
We Uber ‘ed it down to the Darwin Waterfront, where there are many dining options to choose from. The whole area is so very different from the Darwin Wharf that we remember from over 20 years ago, when we simply sat on the wharf and enjoyed a Barra Burger and enjoyed the sunset with Liz and Mum.
We settled on the Irish pub for dinner, and had a filling and delicious meal. A Blue Taxi took us back to our apartment, and horror of horrors, when we got inside I discovered I had dropped my phone in taxi. A quick phone call to the company, and several calls to my phone resulted in the driving returning it to us within a half hour ...phew! Although I need a new cover, I don’t need a new phone.
An early night was in order for us all, after such a long and busy day.
