Day 18: Alice Springs

 

Well the girl with the romantic dreams has arrived in Alice Springs.  Will I meet my Bush Ranger and live happily ever after?  Probably not 🙂   But I think I am going to enjoy Alice every bit as much as Perth, Melbourne and Cairns.

********

Right, I have been here half an hour or so.  When I say “here”, I mean the Heavitree Gap Outback Lodge.  I mentioned that this would be the budget part of my trip.  It’s basic and hot – very, very hot.  It could be worse.  The room has air conditioning and there is a café that opens for dinner and a supermarket.  I headed for the supermarket as soon as I arrived and stocked up on water and other basics.  I thought I might find it too hot to walk there again.  I may need to revisit my plans of finding romance in the outback 🙂

I don’t know where Alice Springs is.  I haven’t seen it yet.  My companion on the plane, a gold miner, warned me to be careful of the locals.  So I might just wait for my tour tomorrow and enjoy the campsite pool, feeding the wallabies and the Wi-Fi.  All of life’s little luxuries.

My first 2 day tour starts at 6.40am tomorrow.

    IHi Ann

    Brings back memories of A Town like Alice, I tried to see photos but could not find play slideshow in snapfish, there was one photo and I clicked on everthing in sight but nothing happened maybe someone who sees the photos can tell me what to do.

    Love Mam

    • Hi Mum. That worked for me yesterday but when I tried today I needed to log in. You might have to set up a snapfish account which is easy to do and free. It is a useful way to store your photos. Love Ann x

    Your details worked, I can see the campsite is a bit of a comedown from your last accommodation, but one hotel is mush like another so it was good to try out something different.

    Loce Mam
