Today was a day of rest.
Having spent the last two days on the road, I think everyone was glad to just take it easy today. A late start with everyone sleeping in. In fact, the first one up was Tara, closely followed by me at 8:00am!!!! That would have to be the latest I have slept in all holiday!!!!!
Of course no prizes for guessing who the last person out of bed was, although Fiona did look very refreshed after her much needed sleep in… I must be such a sucky husband making her wake up in the AM so many times… Kate keep saying that I got my fat lip from waking Fiona, not from running into the caravan. “Dont poke the bear…” seems to be her new catch phrase!!
So as I said, a day of rest. We slowly cooked breakfast, had showers put a much need load or five of washing on before heading to Coles to restock. Would you believe that Liquorland in Alice Springs doesn’t open until 2pm!!!! Of course we had came out of Coles at 1:45pm and had to wait for the doors to open. Surprisingly, the 30 or so people that followed Mark and I through the doors were tourists!!! Guess the locals all know better!
Afternoon was spent with an early “cheese o’clock” as the kids ran around the park somehow managing to find the only mud puddle in Alice Springs and playing in it fully clothed! Not sure those clothes will live to see another day…
After dinner we sang a belated Happy Birthday to Mark, then it was straight to bed for the kids.
Tomorrow we are back on the road heading out to Uluru (AKA: Ayers Rock).
Will leave you with two nice photos I took from the caravan park looking at the hills of Alice Springs… first one was in the morning and second at dusk…
PS – seems Fiona and Mark didn’t get my hint hint from yesterday, so maybe I’ll try to be a little more blunt…. PUT SOME BLOODY PHOTOS UP YOU TWO!!!!!
