Australia, Day 8

Day 8, Thursday, February 11 2010
———————————-

Before we left for the airport we put a shelf together for Magda. She has been wanting this shelf to be put up for over 4

years, but sadly her sons never did it. Since we wanted to repay Magda for everything she had been doing for us over the last

couple of days we decided to put the shelf together and bring it into the house so that she could then use it.

Afterwards we packed our suitcased into the car and then left with Magda and John for the domestic airport. There we checked

ourselves in with a computer terminal which was really easy and we could even choose our own seats! After a short snack and

drink together it was time for Iris and me to leave through the security gates where we had to say goodbye to Magda and John.

After a couple of minutes of waiting at the gate, we could board our plane and we were set to leave for Alice Springs.

When we arrived in Alice Springs we were hoping everything was going to work out, as we had not received an e-mail

confirmation for all the bookings from our hostel, but were soon lucky to be collected by the bus driver.

After we checked-in in the Alice Lodge where we were going to stay for the night, we then went to The Rock Tours office where

we received last details about our trip like the things we needed to take with us, and pick up time at the hostel.

We then went to the supermarket where we bought a lot of water so that we would have enough for the trip and I desperatley

needed suncream lotion.

We turned in early and I hardly slept being unable to shut my mind off.
