For those who are reading this and wondering why I have just updated the titles, I am going to work backwards from today over the next day or two so that I can get the blog back in order, we have been out of mobile/net range for quite some time, so hopefully the broadband stick will work ok here in Alice and I can get it all updated, so please be kind to me and I will get it updated ASAP. I hope that you are enjoying our trip as much as we are. :)
Today we had a bit of a lay in, no need to rush these things :). We then had bacon and eggs for breakfast, need to celebrate finally crossing the NT boarder again.
We discovered that we now have 2 mice, one in the camper and one in the car, a bloody mouse got into the bread bag before we transferred it into the car last night so now we have to buy new bread as he has now nibbled on 3 loaves of bread. Bloody mice. Poo in the camper overnight so know we still have one there and the nibbled bread in the car. Grrrrr!!!!!!! bloody mice!!!!!
This campspot is a very popular spot, well laid out, especially for vans, but you need to get here early. There is information on both sides of the boarder about what is about and things to do, very informative.
We got here about 4pm last night and well we had to take what we got, but our spot was still good, and being right at the back was right away from the road. All of the campers here were very friendly, there was a great atmosphere (and lots of laughs) around the many campfires last night.
We got chatting to 4 grey nomads that had decided to stay another night which were from Victoria, very friendly people. Could have chatted all day, they were very nice, but it was time to move on.
All packed up we hit the road again, destination Alice Springs.
We called in to Stuart's Well for a bit of a break and lunch, and you wouldnt believe it, there is a spot here called 'Jim's Place', so I managed to get one photo (will add later) but the other sign with all the info I couldnt get due to the sun being in the wrong spot.
Right next door to the station was a Camel Farm, kids can have camel rides too.
We hit the road again, next stop Alice. We arrived at the van park at about 3 pm, booked in and set up camp under a nice shady tree. We then had a cuppa and had to try and sort out the car as we discovered this morning that our unwelcome camper guest now has a mate in the car. Bloody mice, so off to the shops tomorrow to buy more traps. The blighter even got in to James UHT milk. Go figure. Must be lactose intolerant too.
The sunset tonight was spectacular, true outback reds and orange colours. Beautiful. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same as we are going to go up to Anzac Hill and take some photos, so fingers crossed might have some nice pics to put up here.
As I was cooking dinner, J & P's Drought Busting services had succeeded again as it started to rain, didnt take us long, well thankfully it only lasted a couple of minutes.
James has done some running repairs on my pc, so I am going to try and update the blog tonight (well I succeeded there somewhat)
Rena got her first real bath tonight and not the black plastic tub that we have been using. The van park that we are staying in has a full size bath (family bathroom), really like this park for that reason (stayed here last time we were in the Alice).
Hopefully tomorrow night I will get to have a nice relax in the tub myself, it is the small things that you miss.
