Day 28 Alice Springs

Simply another day off today.... Slept in, tuned on the bike, wandered around, and began reading "Mr. Stuart's Track", a book about John Mcdouall Stuart the Australian explorer that first crossed the continent south to north along the route that is the foundation for the highway we are riding. Of course I did quite a bit of blogging as there was a lot to catch up on.

We went to a highly recommended bar called "Bo's", but it turned out to be a bad clone of an American country western bar... very disappointing. So we simply went back to Annie's and called it an early night.

I'm already packing up and re-organizing for the final leg of the trip. Including sending some things off to Jason in Melbourne to lighten the load a bit more... we'll be hitting the tropics in a week or 10 days and there'll be no need for such cold weather gear.
