Well it’s been a lovely Christmas this year. Very different being on the road. A lot less stressful than normal, although we still went overboard on the boys’ presents so we’re going to have to do a big Op shop dump before we leave Darwin. The caravan was full of presents (stored under the dining table) then full of wrapping paper after they were all opened. Very fun morning though!
We spent Christmas Eve with our lovely new friends Muz & Jules feasting on local prawns before heading out to look at Darwin’s Christmas lights. The first house was awesome but the rest were surprisingly low key. Found out later we missed the best neighbourhood in Darwin but got to see it a few days later. Still not as good as Bundy’s Thomas Healy drive!
After opening the pressies on xmas morning, we ventured out for a pancakes and champa’s breaky with a few fellow campers here at the camp kitchen. Yummo! Then on to the other camp kitchen for lunch with the Flynn’s (Wendy & Pete), the Canadians (Julie & Trent) and Annette & Wazza. There were 9 kids in all and Waz dressed up in a summer santa suit and gave all the kids some pressies. We had turkey, roast pork (including very yummy crackling), ham, chicken, a scrumpcious sweet potato bake, a creamy potato bake and a couple of salads. Then topped it all off with individual pavlova’s. It was a great day and evening!
