Alice Springs

I am tucked up in bed in my little home away from home.   I arrived in Alice Springs late this afternoon after a long drive from King's Canyon.  It is very busy and lucky to get a spot for Myrtle for the night.  It is going to be minus 2 tonight but they don't usually get a frost as no moisture in the air.
On my long drive I saw people on pushbikes! They would be pedaling for over 300 ks.   How tough would that be??   King's Canyon was nice and I did a walk however my fear of heights got the better of me and I didn't do the walk up the steep stairs and around the top of the cliff!  I am sure there will be more gorges etc that I can work on my fear!  
It is so nice to get comments as I feel like I have company on my journey.  It is easy - just select profile then name/url - You just put your name and don't fill in the URL bit.  Thank you for reading my blog!  Also tell me any news from home or where ever you are!  I will probably put some photos on tomorrow.
I watched TV for the first time tonight since I left.  I realised that I haven't been missing it at all.  I will pack it away again in it's box!

      I do? It is fun once you get into it! Thanks Lian. Good to know you are out there. Otherwise it is probably like being a radio announcer and wondering if you are talking to yourself. It is a great way for me to keep a record of my trip. A bit like homework but more enjoyable.
