Saturday 2nd October 2010 - Ingham
To celebrate leaving Ingham we decided to party with some friends and a pigeon. Dan made some sausage rolls however Prue's dodgy oven wouldnt work so we had to carry them down the road to another friend's house to cook them, they were delicious thank you honey. The stupid iPhone woke us up an hour early thanks to daylight saving and we were on our way to Cairns where Kuta dropped us off at the Airport and promised to take good care of the Prado.
We entered the Cairns International Airport for our flight to Darwin - it was a connecting flight for people travelling to Singapore. We had no idea what to expect inside the international airport and passports came in and out of our bags a thousand times (all for no reason). We finally made it through the gates and into the lounge area of the airport. We looked at the duty free shopping however resisted the urge to buy anything so early into the trip. We managed to board the plane, reverse out of the bay and wait for an hour as there were some "technical" glitches to the plane.
A great start to our honeymoon... Finally, an hour later than expected, we were in the sky wondering whether we were going to get to see any of the grand final. We landed safely in Darwin where the heat hit us. We exited the tiny airport and jumped into the taxi. The Phillipino taxi driver started telling us about marijuana in the Phillipines and that it was called "five fingers" by the locals so they couldn't get in trouble for asking to buy the drugs. We eventually made it to our hotel for the night and saw almost all of the footy - go the DRAGONS!
After the footy, we ventured out for a stroll in the heat and down to Mindil Beach markets. Mindil Beach faces west so we got to see the sunset over the water. The markets were pretty cool and there was a weird fire throwing dude there who incorporated Dorothy the Dinosaur into his show.
Monday morning saw a late start to the day as we were taking advantage of the air conditioning in our room. We were walking along the esplanade when we got a call from Megsy advising us that she
had checked our mail and there was a letter for Chris from the Firies. She opened it up and read it to us over the phone...
Needless to say I wasted no time resigning - Here we come Bowen!
Anyway, off to Vietnam this afternoon for three weeks. We booked our return tickets today - arrive back in Darwin on 22nd October at 5am!
