Darwin - Australia

Gek has been using the AirBnB home stay website to find our accommodation for this trip and has come up with smashing places to stay, some in a persons home, others in apartments where you are by yourself. This particular flat is the home of Ingrid and Dragos, a young couple both working as social workers in Darwin. Nice, yes? Great place to have your cornflakes.

A Darwen bus, oops, sorry, Darwin bus.  

The buses are easy to hop on and off, going all over the City as they do.  Darwin is unusual in that it is divided by its airport.  Lovely coast line all around the place.

Darwen High School by the beach?  I wish!!!  Are you shaped by your environment as you are growing up?  Darwen - smokey town of  30 cotton mill chimneys or Darwin - clean and airy town of beach, big skies and open desert.  Compare and contrast!!!
