7 Down, one to go...

7 States and territories down, one to go. Then, Cheryl and I can say we've been to all of Australia. We just got back from Darwin last week (actually this time last week we were on a plane heading for Darwin) and I must say that Darwin is very different to all the cities we've been to. Not only is it really hot (worse than Penang hot as Cheryl puts it), trying to get to the attractions without a car or decent transport was a bit annoying. Cheryl nearly screamed at me when she realised that she would be missing the one event anyone going to Darwin should see... That being the nighttime Mindil Markets. Supposedly this is THE event to see, but alas we were a week early... :( So instead we headed to 3 markets, in Palmerston, Parap and Nightcliff and saw the Crocasaurus Cove, which was in the centre of town. That was all we could do... It was either too hot or I didn't really want to make Cheryl walk. I know, it's sad but at least Cheryl got to see another city.

The flight to Darwin was nice. Flight back I didn't do much except sleep. But the flight to Darwin we watched 'It's Complicated' and oh my gosh you could hear the whole plane erupt in laughter towards the end of the movie. The movie on the way back was Crazy Heart. I must say this was a more serious film and slower to take off. Anyway, it was good to know that at least I didn't have to pay to see the movie, like I would have on Virgin Blue.

So yes, Darwin is now crossed off our list of places to visit in Australia. We've been to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra (of course) and now Darwin. The only city left to conquer and we're doing this in a few weeks is Hobart. Then I think after the baby arrives, we'll start planning our next epic adventures.

Remember how I said that Cheryl might have something to say about my previous post? Well, she did... Some of the pictures I uploaded she claims were not the best and wanted them removed. To me, any picture of Cheryl is amazing so why can't I share it with the world? Many of you all have asked can we see pictures of Cheryl with the 'bowling ball' (as she puts it) in front... I will try and obtain a nice picture for all to view. Stay tuned. I will update the photo album on facebook when I can. Same link as before to see the pics.

That's all for now. I shall post next after getting back from Hobart. We're seeing Cats in Sydney after that and then that's it. No more flying for Cheryl until after the baby arrives. But for me... flying I can still do... hehehe :)

Alex.
