Day 11 - from Alice Springs to Perth And so we flew to Perth today. The difference is big: it is green here, there are people everywhere, we need to cue for traffic lights (even for diner but more about that later), there are huge buildings, taxis are available within much less time than the 1 hour (!!) we waited in Alice yesterdzy and there is loads of water and plants. It is basically a regular city but quite different vs what we had gotten used to. We arriv...

Day 10 - King's Canyon to Alice Springs Today was our last day in the Northern Territory. We spent it on packing our stuff and then driving to Alice Springs (4,5h drive) with a lunch stop in Erldunda where Hanne discovered that these trucker-road-restaurants-in-the-middle-of-nowhere dont necessarily have good salads. Who would've thought?! My fish burger with chips was quite decent, for a trucker-road-restaurant. In the late afternoon, we did a short walk thro...

Day 7 & 8 - Uluru and Kata Tjuta Yesterday started differently than any of the other mornings. We didnt wake up from Olivia nor from our other alarm. We woke up from the cold!

We didnt really expect it to impact the inside of our motorhome so heavily :-) Meanwhile we have added a blanket (also ...

Day 6 (I think - am starting to lose track of time :-)) - driving from Tennant Creek to Curtin Springs Today was a driving day. From waking up until diner we litterally did not do anything else. But, we ended up catching up time and even gaining time! Thanks to the helicopter yesterday and some serious stress today (see below), we are now officially no longer in a hurry. And this goes until end November for me and end December for Hanne. Pls take note of it now ...

Day 5 - Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) and driving the Track to Tennant Creek We were in a helicopter today!! But first, it is the second day that the cellphone alarm wakes us up and not that bigger alarm :-). Read: confirmation of no more jetlag for Olivia! The plan was to take the earliest 2 hour boat tour (9am) through gorge 1 and 2 and then leave at 11:30 for the "roadtrip of a lifetime". We planned to book the trip as soon as the place opened (7:30). As with mo...
