ON THE WRITE PATH: travel journal for Around-the-World in 2015, 16, 18. |
Ah ... Darwin ... we didna get to know ye. 30DBG: You-all stayed at the Vibe (on Kitchener ... named after a scorched-earth imperialist ... cool ... not!) ... really ... at $183/night... I opted to stay at the hostel for $22, on the other side of the CBD about a kilometer away. Begged for a lower bed. Score! I did the Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour. Not cheap, but with little time it gives an overview. Since there's only one bus/hour a word-to-the-wise... if you hop off note the time and be back in 50 minutes. I stayed close to Bicentennial Park, so a walk along the Esplanade at sunset was pleasant. A tropical 29 degrees with a bit of a breeze. Awesome. BCoF: You really don't want me to come along. The Entertainment Center is pretty and the Stone Bar may entice you, but I don't drink ... as in ... not one drop. Throb however ... I think Quentin would have been twirling his pearls! I ended up not going. The drag show is worth it but $5 drinks? Again, maybe great for drinkers, but I don't like the drama that surrounds drunks like a funeral-shroud. And last but certainly not least ... WakeUpAndLive~doingNaNo'24 snitched on me! I'm supposed to be traveling in cognito. I must thank her for trying to teach me how to swim though. I'm deathly afraid of water. She was an angel. 2.581 |
