It's raining on our holiday LOL

Welcome to Alice Springs, damp centre of Oz. As you can see the clouds have rolled in and it was a welcome blessing as the first days heat was stifling. Yesterday his lordship got a new "Sunlounge" so that he can get into his horizontal reading position in a split second which means asleep in 3 minutes LOL.

Last night we treated ourselves to dinner at Red Ochre and we were both absolutely disappointed in what was served up. Having enjoyed the wonderful food at the Cairns restaurant we expected the same here but this was not to be. The school hols have hit with a vengeance, we thought that we were far enough away from civilization to escape it, but again they have caught up to us LOL . We have started to plan 2010 and it looks like a trip to NZ in Feb, followed by a clockwise trip around the southern coast then up the inland road in WA to visit Alan who has just bought a 350,000 acre sheep farm at Sandstone. Hans and Roli are taking off for a month or so in 2011 and have offered us there apartment in Zurich so we are factoring that into the long term plan. This tripping never seems to stop LOL.
