Thursday: Mindal Beach Markets

Beautiful, cool, busy, great atmosphere, lots to look at, firsts. That is the theme of the markets. The stall owners are very very talented and there were a lot of crafts, paintings, clothes, gadgets, not to mention animals aswell.

We had tea and watched the sunset. Then we went for a wander amongst the stalls. Yes, I bought 2 sarongs and some glow sticks for the kids. By the time I came back to our campsite, Ewan was riding a horse. Which then meant Alicia wanted to have a ride aswell. Well, if its Ewans first horse ride, it might as well be Alicia's too. She kept saying, 'turn' (which meant her turn) and then when it came to actually riding the horse, she was dead against it.

Mum prevailed as usual, and basically threw her onto the bloody horse. She loved it and was even game enough to point out the rabbit in the next cage. What a ratbag she is.

The markets were really busy, there had to be thousands of people there. It happens every Thursday night and I can see why. If I lived in Darwin, I would be there every time.
