FR 0306 Darwin

FR0306 - day 11 - Darwin
I took the Glimpse of Darwin tour. At 10 degrees from the equator, I wanted an easy tour. It was pretty much like the old Grey Line City tours - a drive around the city with limited on/off. It ended back at the ship or you could get off in town - at the Smith St Mall in the CBD - which is what I did.
The Mall is like a pedestrian street, rather than the huge single-building malls that we think of. Several restaurants and cafes, fine jewelry stores, gift shops, drug stores, even a dollar store. The only thing you wouldn't find at an American mall was the tobacco and bong shop.
On my way to the shuttle, I ran into Toni. She had takent the walking tour and loved it,
There were shuttles between the ship and the end of the mall. I didn't know that we would have a free entree into town until last night, but I do not regret having taken the tour I took.
