Cold Desert

Today we woke up to find that after yesterday's thunderstorm and rain that the temperature had dropped to around 17 degrees celcius.  Crazy fricking semi arid environment.  We had to put jumpers on!  We have done nothing today except totally abuse the free internet at our hostel, buy nice cheap food from the super market and cook a brilliant meal (a la ame).

It was interesting going into Alice Spring's shopping centre and seeing their Xmas decorations (about the only interesting thing in the whole town really).  These are some funny reindeers aren't they??  Santa must let Rudolf et al have a rest when he gets to Australia and then he makes Skippy and boys take over for a bit...

Whilst Ame slept this afternoon, I sat on our hillbilly patio and was amused by the flaming galas.  Silly noisey things.



Like I said Ame cooked lamb with 3 types of veg tonight.  It was fantastic and only cost $8 between us.  We're flying to Perth tomorrow to have Xmas with Ame's Aunt Jenny, Uncle Peter and cousins Anna and Kevin...
