Fast and furious Friday

 Friday 5/3/21

Today is our last day in Darwin and we have plans!

We are going to the Royal flying Doctor tourist place where we will also see a film on the Darwin bombings during World War II. It is very emotional and neither of us had known that the bombings were so serious and lethal.

There was also virtual reality on the Darwin bombing where you felt you were there. There were also a couple on the Flying Doctors and we were able to experience it from both patient and pilot view.

Well worth the visit.

And as a bonus, the attendant was an ex airline employee and advised us to organise assistance for my mobility issue prior to our flight.  She was extremely helpful.

 

And then it was lunchtime and we were heading to the Darwin Sailing club by our trustie personal taxi service (Blue Taxis). It was beautiful and on Fannie Bay.

me and the wheelchair

A very relaxing afternoon before our final dinner at an Italian restaurant where our Argentinian waiter was amazing. This was our pasta.  Very unusual and beautiful. Actually probably looked better than it tasted.

And tomorrow we leave. I have tried to organise some assistance at the airport but after 1 hour waiting on the phone, and then a discussion with a not so helpful person it does not sound promising. She said a wheelchair would be available but could not tell me from where. "Maybe checkin or departure gate??"

Still, i am ever hopeful as things have fallen into place so far.......
