Fish Feeding at Darwin Harbour
We've just finished watching Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets, I promised Lucy that I'd take her to watch it at the cinema, as she didn't want to see it on cheap VCD in Malaysia, (only because I didn't want the audience laughter added - Lucy).

It seemed the good thing to do, so we shared a taxi with him. Tired from the flight, we booked into the first hotel we got to. The room was only £7 per night…
