Living like a local
what Narda likes especially about Darwin - after being here for 5 days
· Found chicken parmie special at Hotel Darwin last night. $19, a bargain for Darwin. (as for me…being a vegetarian for 50+ years, I ate their veggie mix which was adequate)
· We cross the road at the lights diagonally!
· Attended our first Aqua Gym class, made a new friend Susie.
· Riding all buses for free all hours.
· Found a local servo with $1 coffees: nice ones. We have a family rule, you cannot NOT buy a $1 coffee.
· Found a suburb we might like to live in, Fannie Bay. Lots of houses there for $2,000,000 plus!!!! Blimey. Decided to stay where we are.
When we miss Darwin, we’ll buy a humidifier.
We had our second aqua class today. Deep water - meaning feet do not touch the bottom. Luckily, being old as we are - we get a floaty thing to wrap around our belly. It is our first time to do this for 45 minutes - it was a good work out. Our instructor is from the Bronx so that made two out of about eight people there from New York. 25% New Yorkers in Darwin - a very cosmopolitan city.
