Darwin

On our way to Darwin we popped into see the jumping crocodiles, we boarded a boat with large clear windows and had window seats. As we travelled along the river the crocodiles would swim towards the boat for a feed. Each of the crocs within the feeding area had names and each one was fed at different times during the day. To see the crocs jump out of the water and grab hold of a piece of meat was impressive, they are such a big reptile averaging 4 to 5 metres sometimes 6 metres in length.

It was a very hot day in Darwin on the Sunday that we arrived, with no accommodation and air con, we drove to the water front and had some lunch followed by a meander through the city. Back to the van and onto the Mindil Markets and the Darwin Beer Can Regatta, busy busy busy. People were everywhere, the night was very sticky and humid, we had nowhere to stay due to a hiccup with our accommodation. We stayed at the market having a few drinks until late, then headed into the city to find a quiet street as camping in the foreshore precinct  is prohibited. 

During our stay we visited the war museum, museum and a water park, all very entertaining. 

Upon leaving Darwin and on our way to Litchfield for the week, we stopped at Berry Springs and swam in the warm bath like swimming holes, and had a relaxing doze in the sun. 

We have had a little bit of down time in Darwin so there should be more to talk about over the coming week with many more spectacular sights to be explored.

Hope all are well, will chat again soon.
