Darwin

Wednesday 6 September

I have no idea why we should need a rest day after our luxurious journey on the Ghan but we all felt happy to have a pretty relaxed day today. After picking up the rented car in town we returned, walked across to the Cool Spot cafe for a morning cuppa or cool drink, then crossed the road to look at the view across Fannie Bay. We bought some food at the little supermarket and went home to recover from all that activity (?).
Nobody brought us food today, we had to make it ourselves!
This afternoon we eventually got moving again and headed to East Point but we were a bit late for the War Museum so we looked at the view across the bay to the city and then checked out a lake we had passed where people were swimming. Judy had a paddle.
Rob cooked a barbecue for dinner and we ate outside as the temperature was quite pleasant by then. It has been a hot day but the humidity has been bearable.
