Ok we're not exactly coming home just yet but they cancelled our favourite weekly dinner treat. We are not happy, it was such a good deal. Hopefully it'll start back up in the new year. No wonder the restaurant was empty. We have a backup plan though, we figured that we should go to the pier for $6.95 fish and chips but they charge $1 for ketchup. So I said I'm stopping off at the grocery store and buying a bottle for $1.97. One of the nice things about eating down at the pier is that you can always feed the abundance of chips they give you to the fish that the come up to the pier. Somehow feeding fish with chips so that they can be later served with chips is kinda ironic. Hopefully these type of fish aren't the eating type. I somehow gather they are not.
The weather is starting to get really humid here it's really hard to sleep at night. Electricity is quite expensive so we air condition sporadically. We have fans running, the other day when L was on the phone someone asked if she was near the airport, because of the noise of the fan. I think we only have another month then it just rains. I think it's still humid but not as hot. Needless to say we love driving in the car because it has air con.
L had her birthday on the weekend and we went for a drive to a beach. From that beach we could see the city of Darwin. It was a nice drive but it wasn't much of a tourist spot that we ended up at, it was just a little town. They have a ferry that comes from Darwin but you'd be stuck at the dock without a car. When you drive away from Darwin you truly are in the outback. Hmm too bad they don't have an Outback Steak House here.
