greetings from the top end

Hi everyone,
Well amazingly it is already Thursday, how time flies when you are having fun.
We have been out in the boat, up to a creek in Shoal Bay to place crab traps at high tide, which was about 7pm, and went back about 7am the next day to retrieve them. We didnt get as many as we had hoped, but it was heaps enough for Mart to make a chilli crab meal which was awesome.
The last time I was in a boat was the last time I was up here. What a beautiful experience.
Yesterday we went to the art gallery and musuem. Also Claire showed us all the interesting alternative shops in Darwin. Oh yes, we have decided that it will be $100 limit  for christmas presents. Of course less if you find something super for the lower price, and more if you want. Mum we have purchased Claire's christmas present for her already, I will take photos to show you.
Today we have been op shopping. Mart seemed to do the best out of all of us, with some good purchases, which included a great mambo shirt, which you would love Moo.
Tonight we are off to Mindil beach markets where there is great food, great stalls and beautiful sunset. Tomorrow we are off to Corroboree for the day.
Claire luckily has had three days off  work this week so she could hang out with us.
Im now heading down to the pool. Yesterday we spent the arvo, drinking champagne in the pool, how decadent and gorgeous.
Hope all's well with everyone.
Love Zak, Annie, Mart and Claire.
