Darwin, October 10

We woke up about 8am. We ate a breakfast of sorts in the room, then went to find a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. Turns out they moved the tourist center a couple of blocks, but we found it. Maybe I should say Paula found it; I couldn't decide, from the very clear arrows on the sign at the old tourist center, which way to go. I think I'm not usually that stupid; I blame it on this cold I have.

I feel like I could "power through" this cold, but I think it's better if I just wimp out. Paula has been medicating me.

We wandered a little mall a bit (Darwin is not a big city!), bought some postcards, then caught the bus.

The bus was an excellent, low-impact choice; I just sat there and the driver did all the work. We did see a wallaby. I didn't try to take any pictures from the bus.

Back to the mall, we had lunch. Paula had kangaroo tail stew; I just had an Eggs Benedict. We went back to the room and we both collapsed for a while.

We took a walk along the shore and admired the sunset.

After that we started some laundry, with tokens purchased from the front desk, then got the man at the desk to let us into the breakfast room, so we could do some blogging. Which is what I'm doing now. He even turned on the A/C for this room.

Saturday was devoted to taking the Kuranda Scenic Railway to Kuranda. It's a train with classic, original cars, either restored or very well maintained, with wood doors and panels and leather seats. There are, according to Wikipedia, 15 tunnels and 37 bridges along the way. It's a two-hour trip, a few hours in town, and a two-hour trip back. It's definitely scenic. There are deep gorges and very high bridges, with the kind of depth that I've never been able to capture in still photos. I'll post a few, but they won't do it justice. Kuranda itself, at least the part of it we saw, is entirely a tourist town. We found a nice little Japanese restaurant and had okonomiyaki.

Monday, November 7, Auckland

Last day in New Zealand! Our plane is at 6:45pm, and we had to check out of the hotel by 10am, so we had quite a few hours to kill. We went to Kelly Tarleton's Aquarium, which was quite different from the previous aquarium. For one thing, they had a very large penguin enclosure with (I'd estimate) over a hundred penguins. Before that, they had a large display of just what the huts used by the early Antarctic explorers were like. Just to make very certain that we had plenty of time at the airport, we had Steve drop us off about 2:00, while he and Isaac went off to explore a bit more.

Bali to Darwin

 We had arranged for a shuttle to the airport. When it came to leave, the elevator was closed for maintenance. I went to the desk to complain, but then we just took the freight elevator that Paula had noticed earlier. After we got to the airport and Paula told them everything that is (presumably) in her records about the scooter. From the plane flying to Darwin, I noticed two things: First, heavily forested areas give way to barren mud-colored areas, with a sharp dividing line--no gradual transition. Second, looking down from the plane, every house seems to have a white roof. Possibly corrugated metal, but definitely looked white. They wouldn't gate check the scooter, so Paula used a wheelchair to get to the plane, and again to get off the plane. There wasn't the usual covered walkway for getting off the plane, but stairs; and they brought a lift over for her to get down to ground level.  From there, a young woman pushed Paula in a wheelcha...
