Bad night sleep. Air con kept making the room cold and blowing too much air (noisy). Got up a bit after 9. Found somewhere nearby for breakfast.

Back to hotel for shower and teeth, and then out exploring. Decided to rent e-scooters for our trip to the museum, which was past the Mindil markets. Took us about 20 minutes, and $12.50 each. Taxi may have been cheaper, but not as much fun 🙂

Excellent time at the museum! Lots to see, including listening to sounds of Cyclone Tracey. Had lunch there about 1.45ish. We got scallops which were $36 for 6 small ones (bit of a rip off), but since the museum was so enjoyable and free, we considered that our donation. We then caught an Uber to the Royal Flying Doctors Museum.

RFDS started with VR of the bombing in 1942, and then a 15 minute holo-video about the RFDS, and a 15 minute holo-video about 1942. Then a VR of the RFDS from the pilot, and also a nurse view. Look inside a plane. Bought a glass to go with our shotglass from Alice Springs.

Walked back in to town (about 30 minutes from the waterfront) and had a beer, and then back to our hotel for a 30 minute power nap. Killed some time before going out to dinner at Tim’s Surf and Turf, which was fantastic. Order on a piece of paper and take it in to pay. Very efficient.

After dinner, back for another beer, and then to the hotel for a shower, and watched TV before going to bed.
