Darwin

It is Sunday 27 of May, 2007. We left Nhulunbuy tonight at 8:30 PM. It was a bit sad to say good by to our good friends Dave and Sue Buick and specially to Bob, their dog. I do become attached to the canines very easy. Today was also a good day, we played a 9 hole round of Golf. It has been 15 to 20 years since I played last, I didn't do to bad. The course is nice, we saw a few parrots and kakatoos. The kakatoos (spelling?) are the white birds that you see in the US in pet stores, they are every where here. After golf we went back to the house for brunch and took care of our suit cases. In the afternoon, we took a short walk to a beautiful house owned by Alcan Gove. It overlooks the town and has a nice view of the ocean. The afternoon was pleasant, a few crackers, a bottle of Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc complemented the evening. It was time to go back to the Buick's home, have dinner and get ready to leave to the airport. It is 12:24 AM in Darwing and we are wating for our Qantas flight to take us to Sydney. Until then, good night.
