Clive's Shortcuts

We didn't get too far today as the wind didn't happen and the water lay like a mirror.  Clive, Ian's brother who lives in Darwin, was waiting at the breakwater to take photos of us leaving.  Finally he rang to see where we were.

Well, if we weren't sailing anywhere, what should we do?  Go to the Botanical Gardens.







Clive knew a good shortcut via the foreshore.  We believed him!                              












Clive takes a well earned rest.  These shortcuts are hard work.

Along the way we got distracted by Rainbow Bee-eaters.  The three of us had a bit of fun trying to get action photos.

Finally, hot and thirsty, we made it to the gardens.  We tried to find an ice-cream shop but all we found was trees and flowers. 






Time to go home and get some photos of the sunset.  We have had magnificent sunsets every night.  Ian and I are forever on the watch for "the green flash" but so far have only seen magnificent sunsets.
