Yesterday we had breakfast at Yogi’s Way, a newly opened cafe which is just around the corner from Marc’s. The inside is akin to entering a cave. Dark walls, dark timber floors. And these two stunning, full wall size paintings. Breakfast was scrumptious – House made Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. Too busy eating to take a photo.
A sunset dinner cruise on Darwin Harbour topped the day off nicely.
We’ve tried many different eateries whilst here. This morning we drove to Trader Jack’s. Located in the middle of an industrial area, I was beginning to wonder what we would find. It was good. And to top it off, the cafe was inside a shop stocked with all kinds of goodies. We were served by a woman who had lived in Adelaide not far from us! She had some interesting stories to tell. Back in 1980 her uncle introduced her to their pet crocodile which they kept in an enclosure in their backyard, compete with its own swimming pool. He was a big ‘un having stayed in his territory throughout cyclone Tracy six years earlier.
In the shop we found a couple of ‘interesting’ things to take back home for our first happy hour –

Sunsets in Darwin, I remember them well!

Well, you’re definitely not starving, and great to sea you managed the cruise ok !!. Beautiful sunset pic’s, thanks Raili.
It was a very serene sea, Ivor. Otherwise i would have been upchucking 🙂

That’s quite the holiday you’re having. Are you ever going home? 🙂

Ya’ll are haveing too much fun.
Isn’t that what holidays are for ?! 🙂
You go girl.Just wish I was along for the ride. lol
wow! it looks like a very beautiful experience!!! love,love the paintings! and the food! 🙂
Thank you so much! The paintings were pretty spectacular – only painted in May this year. They dominate the space. In a nice way
I get how that would be like! 😉 I like the first one. What do you think ithe painter wanted to say? What did he/she feel?
Stating the obvious, it is showing the Third Eye. Perhaps Indian/Eastern mysticism. I believe the owner is from Bhutan, at least judging by some of the menu items..
Wow! How interesting! Lucky you! It has profound elements! 🙂
Sounds like fun…love sunset cruises…wow beef jerky hot….haha nope.. love the sound of the cave cafe
Gosh Raili, with serves like that both of you won’t starve whilst on your epic journey.😂
Nice photos of the sunset trip, glad to see the sea was calm.
I was grateful for the calmness 🙂
Oh! Those pictures are gorgeous! Especially that first one. Is it supposed to be Poseidon, bac?
I think it’s meant to be a yogi with a thumb over his third eye – the place is called Yogi’s Way. They are both full wall size murals. Very striking
