Alice Springs NT – Day 4

Tuesday 21st June 2022
It is amazing how good it feels to sleep in the roof top tent.  I thought I needed a king size bed in a luxury hotel but it turned out that our roof top tent felt like heaven.  Luckily for us Trish at the caravan park blocked out 3 nights for us here as there is nothing available anywhere.

After a morning of re- organising the car we headed after lunch to Alice Springs Aquatic Centre to start the long road back to surf fitness.  We are strong in the legs and heart but need to get the arms moving again.  The facility was lovely, unfortunately the 50m outdoor pool is closed until September.  We did a lazy 1850m in the 25m heated indoor pool.

We then headed to Woolworths to restock the pantry and fridge.  The atmosphere in Alice is very interesting.  There are so many people hanging around, the supermarket is always packed and the shelves often very empty.

We headed back to camp for our first meal of chicken with stir fry vegetables.  A wonderful treat. It is amazing how the simple things in life can make you so happy. Another night in our palatial tent with no mice running around our ears.  Yay!
