Saturday 20th October 2007


We woke up this morning at around 9am, after a good nights sleep (well, better than last night anyway). We got ready, had some breakfast, and then decided we'd go exploring. We took a walk into town and up a massive hill to the Anzac Hill War Memorial - where there were fantastic views over Alice Springs. Afterwards we had a look in a few of the shops including an opal factory - where they had a thermometer (in the shade), which was reading 100°!

This afternoon we explored some more. Firstly we found an internet shop and went in to book a mini holiday, (we're starting to feel we need a rest). We booked two flights to Tasmania for 7th November (I still can't keep Nikki out of the travel agents, even though we're on the biggest holiday ever, oh and the smallest budget!). We're going to stay there for 10 days and do some exploring, we'll probably rent a car too. Afterwards we went to the Old Hospital building, the historic Gaol (which unfortunately was closed), and had a look around an Art Gallery at all the Aboriginal paintings.

Tonight we packed our bags for our 3 day camping trip tomorrow, had our showers and then had some tea.

A holiday on a holiday, have you ever heard anything like it? Obviously Nikki has!
