Alice Springs

From the Great Ocean Road we spent a night in Adelaide and then flew up to Alice Springs ready for our next tour, at this stage we are getting pretty tired of all the early mornings - and I mean early - 5.30am most mornings and the travelling is getting to us, but we are still smiling and laughing.
Annoyingly, we had to wait at Alice Springs airport for other flights to come in for people who were also staying at the same hostel, so we took the opportunity to laze in our first bit of proper sunshine.
At the resort, we checked into our not so amazing dorm room, with a leaky tap and a light that didn't work and then strolled into town for a mosey around. There isn't much to Alice Springs and I am glad the travel agent advised us that a afternoon would be plenty. There are some amazing galleries though of Aboriginal Art - I found a gorgeous painting called 'Dreamtine Sisters' it was purples and pink and the dots made it look like the night sky. I wasn't sure what the story was but it was beautiful.
On the way back to our delightful hostel we picked up dinner - a packet of Supernoodles each - yum! We made them in plastic cups (you have to hire crockery etc) and went and ate it in the TV room. Packing for the next morning tour (of Uluru, which again we had to be up at 5am) was a tad difficult due to the light not working- there were six of us all straining our eyes to see what to pack. It wasn't much fun in the morning when we had to leave either but we got showered and packed and made it to the bus ready for another full day sat on a bus travelling.
