Darwin Day 1

There are two places that I hate waiting, one is a bank and the other is the Doctors’s surgery. Today we had to wait at the Doctor’s Surgery to find out what was wrong with Chelsea. The appointment was for 11:45 and we had to sit there until 1:00pm before she was scene by the doctor. I am not sure why they make appointments when they cannot keep them.

Chels went in and about twenty minutes later she appeared with the news that she had pneumonia, well at least that is what the Doctor has diagnosed. We now had to go for a blood test, a new experience for Chelsea, and then a chest x-ray so they could have a look and see what was happening.

We headed off to get the test completed to find the Xray people at lunch till 2:00pm but we were able to get the blood test. Chels was not looking forward to this so we got it over and done with but had to come back later for the xray. What a great day!!

After all this was over, it was time for a drive to see what Darwin had to offer. A drive around the city sites was the plan that we set off with.

After a drive through the city, we headed out to Mindil Beach for a walk and feel of the water, yes it was warm and we wished we had our bathers with us, oh well there is always tomorrow.

We kept following the esplanade area when Cathy thought she sighted Damien from 'The Biggest Loser.' I drove a bit further, but it became evident that there would be little peace if I did not turn around to see if it was really him. Eventually we found the person and yes it was him! Chels, Josh and Skinny jumped out of the car to get an autograph and once they confirmed who it was Cathy joined them. They were all so excited!

After this it was back to the van, well as far as they were concerned nothing could top this!!
