Day 97

05/10/2009

Round to SDV (shipping agent) first thing to change our destination to the UK, which meant unloading from the current, Australian based container and sorting out a European container, which didn't arrive until this evening after the office had pretty much closed. We ended up with another inactive (wasted?) day.

Not sure what the cost will be or when we'll have the paperwork sorted, but there are no flights to Darwin on Tuesday so it will be Wednesday at the earliest.

We were able to explore the camper rental market in Darwin and find a reasonable priced hotel in the centre but not yet able to book them. Also decided to spend a couple of days there as there are a few things we want to visit.

Eating here is a little more expensive than we are used to and there is generally alot of western options on the menu. Beer options are local (Indonesian) and several bottled Australian brands, not surprising considering it's close proximity and the number of them living here.
