This morning was sunny unlike yesterday's welcome bit of overcast. I still managed to get off of the ship early for a sunrise walk/jog along the waterfront.
The tide was much higher this morning as you can see in comparison to yesterday when we went out.
We got off the ship soon after breakfast and took the shuttle bus into the Darwin CBD. We walked along the pedestrian mall where they are already getting in the Christmas spirit.
Our target was the Midpul Art Gallery at Charles Darwin University. The exhibit, Clay On Country, was quite interesting with a variety of styles.
This piece reminded me of what Linda is always saying to me - translation 'Hey! Are You Listening?'
It was then time for lunch so we made our way to the The Loose Goose Bar for the final beer and barramundi (and pear/haloumi salad for Linda).
Up here in Darwin, they seem to prefer to serve the barramundi grilled with crispy skin and accompanying vegetables. Look how similar the 2 dishes (yesterday's and today's) are and they were both delicious.
Walking around Darwin we saw many murals and interesting trees and birds.
But the heat was getting to us . . .
. . . so we made our way back to the shuttle bus stop and back to the cool ship.
As you know, we love Oceania but we might have to consider a change to this very luxurious boat that passed by this morning.
Now we essentially have 2 sea days coming up - tomorrow a real day at sea followed by the stop at Komodo Island where we will not get off the ship. Hey, if you've seen one Komodo Dragon, you've seen them all.
Peace and blessings,
Linda and Larry
Do you have any idea what kind of working boat that was? Looks like a lot of cages on it.
