Darwin, Australia pt. 1

Us waiting at Manila Intl. Airport

Finally made it Darwin

The adventure started off good! Tommy, Rob and I took off from Okinawa to Tokyo and met Zach there. When we were checking in with our airlines they told us that we needed a special visa to enter into Australia, and they said we only have five minutes to get...so we look at each other and just book it down the huge international terminal. We get the visas and ran back to our check in counter...we get our tickets and the lady said we had to run to our plane because they were waiting for us....so we take off running, again. Anyways we make it to the plane with 15 minutes to spare, making it through security and immigration with no problems (though we had to talk our way into going through 'flight crew only' area at immigration). 

Once we arrived to Darwin (5am) we ended up needing to wait around the terminal until the car rental counter opened. We now have the car and we take off, knowing only the general direction of the city (no GPS in car). Circling around the area some and eventually making our way to the coast we stop and look at the sunrise. Beautiful.
