Another Fun Packed week in Darwin

Nightcliff Beach

Well after the Caravan Show we drove to Nightcliff & had a lovely lunch at the Beachfront Hotel.

Then back to then van & I caught up with the blog. 3 hours later, is was time to get ready to go to the Rodeo.

We were surprised how many people were there it was packed:

This is just a quarter of the arena.

As I found out in America it is very hard to take photo's of a Rodeo, but here are a few that weren't too bad:

She was so little

Ride' Em Cowboy!!

Sunday was Mother's day, so Dave said it was my choice :)
We drove into Darwin City & had lunch & then walked along Mitchell St checking out all the shops - no not buying lots, just looking!
Then we went to Sky City Casino & donated about $30!
We walked out on the back lawn to look at the beach:

Beautiful Gardens

Then we went to Mindil Markets:

Lots of stalls & things to see.

Then home to rest!

Monday was not very pleasant as I had to go to the dentist to fix a loose cap - Money & Pain, not a good combo!
Tuesday we had to wait for the batteries to be delivered so we caught up on washing & cleaning.
The batteries arrived around lunchtime so Dave fitted them - hopefully all set now for free camping :)

Tuesday arvo we caught up with our close friends Jack & Si, although it was only a brief visit as they had just finished night shift & we heading off to sleep :)

Tuesday night we met up with Kerry & Grant  at the Tracy Village Club, we had a lovely meal there.

Wednesday we drove out to do the Adelaide River Jumping Croc Cruise - very good!

Our Boat

very keen to jump

Look at those Teeth!

It was a beautiful day, lots of Crocs & Birds:

quite a few road trains on the road out there too:

We really enjoyed ourselves - well worth the visit!

Wednesday night we had a lovely BBQ dinner & caught up with Jack & Si as we did Thursday night as well:

Great friends great times :)

That will do for now as this post is getting too long,

Cheers till next time,
