Still in Alice Springs

As I write this blog tonight, we have actually been in Alice Springs and her surrounds for 12 days.   Five days here at the Park were hectic, out every day catching the touristy stuff.  Our friends were in a different caravan park, so happy hour was always between two caravan parks, after a busy day out.  No time to blog. and in some cases, too much wine, meant no sane blog was capable from me.  Then when we hit the road to go bush - no service for the next 6 days.   You can travel 15kms out of town and instantly no service.!!!!!!  No TV, no news, no email, no phone - bliss as far as Rick is concerned.   A highlight for our first night here, was our friends Andrew & Joanne, the caravanners that we met in Gippsland in Jan and who came to stay in our backyard back in Feb.  They were here in Alice Springs for their last night and so we managed to catch them for a drink and a chat.  It was really nice to see them again and hear where they had been and what their future plans were.  They are possibly heading into outback Qld by now.
