In Darwin right now. Sorry this thread is under the wrong heading should be under Sea Mail. Just started here so I am staying here.

Internet on the ship is expensive and slow so I am not able to really read all the posts so it is nice to be on a land line and be able to read and catch up with what is happening on the home front.

Darwin - hot hot hot. Lovely little town though with a nice shopping mall with all the normal tourist items along with standard shops. There are some tours today to the outback area but having done this before we are electing to make it a lazy day. We know how hot it will be. Just browsing around and taking it easy. The passengers will enjoy South Australia and N.Z. and the cooler temperatures I am sure.

Going to have a get together tonight for the LCT group. Looking forward to that.

Looking at Kens Bali pictures it really was a pretty place when you were away from the main street. We will post of course when we get back.

Okay, off to check email and read your posts.

Having a great time, NEARLY won trivia yesterday Marc but the McKeever group beat us by one. I knew the right answer too just did not go with my instincts. Oh well always today!!

LEE --- yes we are getting off in Sydney. Ken is climbing the bridge pretty much as soon as he gets off and I have a meeting with an Australian travel agent at noon. We will be off the ship by the time you board. Shame that those times did not work that would have been great to meet you - particularly on the ship. Enjoy coming aboard hope you have fun. Sure wish you had joined in Darwin,there are quite a few getting on to day to go to Sydney.
