Joan & Gary arrived today. They were picked up by a friend of Caley's in the small hours of the morning and I took them to the APOLLO Van Hire.
They collected their van and the six of us proceeded into the city to the Information Centre we we booked a sunset cruise in the harbour. We then went and bought groceries, had lunch and a brief rest then set off at 4:30 f0r the cruise.
The cruise was great - we used our National Seniors Cards which saved us $10 each taking the price to $84/head. The cruise left at 5:30 and returned at 8pm. There was a seafood and salad buffet followed by steak and salmon. I ate so many oysters!! The prawns were great as well.
The views were terrific but I am sure you are going to get sick of sunsets by the end of our trip!! Our v essel (sailing ship but no sailing - under motors) was the "Cape Adieu". There are a lot of harbour cruises ranging from $60 to $130. Ours was good - nice and relaxing and also a BYO grog.
Tomorrow we set off for a day trip to Litchfield National Park.
Other things that happened during day:
# Fixed screen door - bought part at caravan store in Darwin.
# Did all our washing - two loads since Mount Isa.
# Helped Gary & Joan move sites - we got back after cruise and they had no power - had to change sites.
# William and Kate got married.
# Broncos leading the Bulldogs 20-12 at time of writing.
great sunset pic!
