Day 149 - The Darwin Cup

Hi all, today was a day for the races, when about 1/4 of all people in Darwin head off to the Darwin Cup on Fannie Bay (he he), to follow the horse racing. Some may say it's a mini version of the Melbourne Cup, but I disagree, it's seems a bigger party with slightly less people.

After meeting up with Matt, Chelsea and their friends, we headed off to the races, and went into the $200 a head, all your can drink for free section and started to enjoy the day. When we're all getting 4 drinks at a time, it made me remember another time in the west indies when we acted the same.

Now for me, the races didn't end up so good. I only picked 1 winner and no places/trifectas for the day, but still a lovely day. One of the best pieces of the day was catching up with Karyn Nona, a girl that I went to high school with so many years ago. although we've both aged, we were both exactly the same, laughing at all the old times, as well as who we are now.

After the races, unlike Melbourne, the bars at the races stayed open, but after a little while, I left Matt and Chels, and headed to the casino to catch up with Karyn again. Firstly, I walked around the casino in about 30 seconds, it's tiny.

A great day/night, and now it's time to leave. Bill, is that my job completed?
