My last day - Darwin

I'm really exhausted this morning - the heat is really getting to me...

After sleeping in and having a leisurely breakfast, I decide to take it easy on my last day and just take a small tour with the Hop on-Hop off bus. Maybe I'll visit one of the many museums in the afternoon... Anyway, it's impossible to stay in the sun with 40 degrees and 95% humidity. At the tourist office, I find out that the Museum of Modern Art has a permanent exhibition on Australian flora and fauna, as well as an exhibition on Aboriginal art... The good thing is: this museum is also one of the stops of the bus.... Perfect... ;-))

But first I stroll around the pedestrian zone of Darwin - there are some really nice shops and I also find a great shoe store... ;-)) Of course, I couldn't resist buying something...:-))

At half past one, I finally take the bus - Darwin is very beautiful and modern - it was almost completely destroyed by a cyclone in 1974... There are beautiful views everywhere, everything here is just as you imagine the tropics... Palm trees everywhere and still a lot of green - you can see that Darwin only knows 2 seasons: the wet season and the dry season...

The Museum of Modern Art is very beautiful and, above all, air-conditioned.

But first I visit the adjacent little 'monsoon park' - all I see there is a curious turtle.

The flora and fauna exhibition is worth seeing and the Aboriginal art has a lot to offer - it's so different from what we see at home...
