Almost gone

Gone for another day and everyone on the beach clapped!!

Well we had a lovely day at the Darwin beer can regatta and the originality of some of the floats was great.  As you can see from the photo, Charlie really liked one of them!!  It was a really fun day, the atmosphere was great, there were lots of families, lots of food at the markets and the beer was flowing!!  Well they do have to start collecting cans for next year's regatta so I had to help them along.

Met up with Merrilyn who I used to work with in the Adelaide Magistrates Court, she and her husband are up here working so that was great and also Fiona who I used to work with at MMC Asset Management in Adelaide.  She has been living up here for about 7 years so it was a good catch up.

We had a look around the markets and had some food (the food is sensational - all types, all nationalities and very reasonable).  Also had icecream and beer.

We then stayed for the highlight of the day which was the sunset over Mindl Beach which is truly spectacular.  People take their chairs and glasses of wine down to the beach and sit there watching the most perfect sunset over the water and at the end clapped!!  It was a truly lovely day - another one on our truly lovely trip.

Anyway all for now from the beer can regatta - Adieu from The Wandering 2s - until my next blog - if you keep on reading then I'll keep writing!!
