"Only 29' in Darwin and dry" announced the Captain. Dry? Humidity is about 80+ and Darwin is full of QM2 passengers wilting in the tropics. We were anxious to disembark after 5 days at sea but I bet there's a rush to get back to the cool comfort we are accustomed to.
Rain comes belting down and we take refuge in a coffee shop where we can download emails and upload blogs: internet access on board QM2 in the harbour is blocked by them unless you sign up to their internet at great cost, which I consider extremely stingy. Luckily I woke early and sent off my backblogs before they got around to blocking.
In the Mall is a secondhand bookshop with an Aboriginal woman sitting outside working on a painting - I really like it but won't succumb to impulse buying (Beechwood was bad enough).
