It was a typical grey and dreary Winter's day in Melbourne as we made our way out to Tullamarine Airport for out flight to Darwin. It had taken all the points we had amassed over several years but we were flying Business Class...very pleasant if you can manage it...and really the only way to make a four hour flight.
Just after 2:00pm we took off from Melbourne and climbed through the clouds to leave the winter gloom behind. About half way through our flight we passed by Lake Eyre...quite impressive from 37,000 feet...and landed in Darwin in time for a bright yellow sunset.
We picked up our car for the next 13 days...an almost new Toyota Corolla...and headed into Darwin to the Palm City Resort where we are staying for the next few days. After dropping our bags in our room it was back in the car and off to the Mindil Beach Sunset Market...a pleasant way to end the day!
Good the hear you've arrived safely and taking it easy.
ReplyDeleteWe stayed at the same place in 2013 - good central location but a bit noisy on the weekend from all the party goers in the pub over the back, but I'm sure you'll move on.
Enjoy the warm.......:)
Was the market massively busy? I was when we were there....
