catch up

OK I am getting not very good at blogging but my excuse is that I am no longer overseas so who wants to read my stories?

But anyway I have done a couple of fairly interesting things lately so I will write about them....
A while back, Simon was seconded to Darwin for 3 weeks for work, so on his last weekend there I decided to pay him a visit. I mean really I would have never gone to Darwin - even though Joyce has been trying to convince me to get to her hometown for a while now. It was pretty tough finding any information online on Darwin which of course kick started my concerns...

While I was in Darwin we:
- visited the Parap Markets and ate the famous laksa & pawpaw salad
- went to the Wharf Precinct and ate freshly caught grilled barramundi with chips & salad. Only $9.90, 9.90, 9.90!!
- Visited the Litchfield National Park. Saw the magnetic termite mounds, swam in the Wangi Falls and Buley Rockhole.
- Visited the Darwin Crocodile Farm - home of 35000 crocodiles including the actual croc from Crocodile Dundee. We went especially for feeding time when these dudes fed chickens to the crocs. While there we thought we would feed ourselves and tried some croc. A croc burger for Simon and Croc legs with chips for me. The meat is tough and not very tasty. I think we will stick to kangaroo.
- Went to Char Restaurant at Admiralty where we had local oysters and a pretty phat steak! And of course Char was voted Australia's Best Steak Restaurant 2005.

Alrighty pictures to come, I have not been as efficient as of late as I used to be with the camera.

Cheerio!
