  30 Day Blogging Challenge It's a good thing we're virtual travelers because in real time no international travelers are allowed in Darwin because of COVID-19. Our hotel is Vibe Hotel on the Darwin Waterfront. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g255066-d1218857-Reviews-Vibe_Hotel_Dar... https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g255066-d11450386-Darwin_Hop... Have fun exploring and share with us what appealed and what didn't. Please mention something that amused you from one of your fellow bloggers entry in the past week. I was not really ready for the city. though Darwin is on the smaller side. Apparently you can't go into the ocean thanks to crocodiles and I found myself more interested in nature than exploring man made aspects. And with that I found the perfect day trip to Litchfield National Park. I even managed to convince some of my fellow travels to venture out with me. I don't know what Lyn's a Witchy Woman   has in store for us tomorrow, but I didn't want to miss this opportunity... a vast difference from the Antarctic adventure. We traveled out a good hour and a half from Darwin. I got to swim in crystal clear swimming holes (no crocodiles) and under waterfalls, spot colourful birds and wildlife on bushwalks through monsoonal rainforest, discover the Lost City on a four-wheel-drive track and wander through a ‘graveyard’ of towering termite mounds. I packed my bathing suit, sunscreen and a picnic lunch for the perfect day trip. The entry was free. https://northernterritory.com/darwin-and-surrounds/destinations/litchfield-natio... This has a great snipet of the park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMYffcIzoM8 I returned to Darwin in time to change and head out to the Mindil Market. I decided on one of my floatie dresses so I'd be ready for anything. Maybe I could find a pair of sunglasses and get an extra pair for SandraLynn  whose been squinting far too much this trip.

Well, given the sunsets are a not to miss thing, I headed for the beach to watch the sunset. I had plans to meet up with the others at The Stone House later. I was craving a little wine and comadary after a day of walking, swimming and exploring the natural world. But first I went on an exploration of the wonders of Mindil Beach Sunset Market. Shopping eating and dancing. So cool. I got some wonderful souvenirs and ate some fabulous seafood paella cooked out in open vats, followed by mini pancakes which I watched them make. So full, I could barely move. But after the exercise I got earlier today I was not concerned. Walking around and looking at the venders things made me burn off the excess as did the dancing. I never thought you could dance to a didgeridoo.
