Anne-Marie gets the cred for this one. We booked ages ago with frequent flyer points and got a special in a nice hotel in the middle of town.
We thought it would be nice to go away for Anne’s birthday ( Happy Birthday sexy ) and it sure was a nice trip. Not sure if it was Darwin, the relaxed laid back attitude of the locals or just us getting better at going on holiday as a family and not completely stressing about everything as if we lived in a constant state of at least defcon 4 while on holiday. This trip was really relaxing. I had time for a few ice cold local beers. We had time to sit and chat and I had a awesome time with my son. What a champ. Through all the heat and sitting in a bus he always greeted every new destination with a loud Whoa ! and learnt a new word – water – said with a Afrikaans accent.
We flew into Darwin and went to the Northern Territory Wildlife Park on a half day tour and then the Litchfield National Park for a full day tour the day after.
Highlights for me :
- Adelaide River cruise – air conditioned – jumping crocs – beautiful scenery
- Buley rock pools where we had a swim in Litchfield National Park
- Sitting on the balcony at the hotel on Anne’s birthday drinking champers
Here are some photos :
