Day 8. Darwin

We went on a bus and catered boat tour to see some parts that we had not seen before. We had been to the aviation museum, but it was good to visit the B52 again, or it would have been if we had more than the 25 minutes available. I'm gald I am not under the B52 bomber in a war. Other war planes included a Spitfire and a Mirage - they are so small beside the B52. There were other commercial and experimental aircraft there too.

A 2 hour cruise and meal on the Charles Darwin showed the city from the sea. The city has some beautiful buildings. There were dredges deepening the shipping channels.

Days 9 to 12 at sea.

The pattern of 2 lectures in the morning, one in the afternoon and a stage show at night developed. Debbie Shields described our next country, Lesa Moore with excellent astronomy and physics topics and Heather Clement speaking about the religious and political aspects of the countries.
