Surprise....!!!!!!! We haven't left Darwin yet. As we laid in bed this morning at 7:30am we decided we weren't really organised enough to move on yet, so we booked in for another day. It was great to have some time to just hang out at the park and get things in a bit more order. The kids even got some school work done!!!! Glen washed the van and the car and I washed clothes, bought a few more groceries and sorted some photos into albums.
The best part about staying another night was the Mindil Beach Markets. They are only on a Sunday and a Thursday and last year when we were here, we went along and it was just a mass of people and incense!!! But, somehow the girls and I managed to convince Glen we should go again. So this time we had a different plan of attack. We arrived at 4pm when it opened, so it was just great, we had the whole place to ourselves. The girls and I were in seventh heaven, trinkets galore, we just went from one stall to the next, making major decisions about what to buy next. Cody on the other hand did not want to go at all, as he is saving all his money, however, he kept asking us about ice-creams, fairy floss etc so we told him he could have what ever he liked if he wanted to pay for it with his own money, his wallet was out in a flash. He seemed to think that food was not a waste of money.....that's the "Bywater" in him!!!!!
We ended up having tea here also, you just can't go to these markets without eating here. Half the stalls are food and the variety of cuisine and the different aromas throughout the markets are just awesome. You can choose from Greek to Japanese to Thai to Sri Lankan to Mexican it is just awesome.
Anyway, and early night for us tonight as we are now very organised and plan to crack the whip in the morning. Look out Kakadu!!!!
