Mackenzie : Today we went to the trucker hall of fame, we went to see Mack from but he wasn't there. So then we went into town to the shops and got presents for our family and fletcher got an awesome Adventure Time top, a hat comes with it too. Then we had uncle Edys ice cream, I got cookies and cream.
Today we went for a look around Alice Springs shops. We first went out to the Hall of fame to check out Mack the truck but he wasn't there so we had a quick look and then went into town. We have to pass through what is called the gap, which is a gap between the ranges which the Stuart Hwy, the Ghan rail line and the Todd River runs between, they are right next to each other and fit neatly in between the gap. We looked at some souvenir shops and got a few bits and pieces. The kids wanted a look in the old faithful, Target, I think they feel secure as they know what's there and what to expect. Fletcher found a bargain so he was rapt. Dan and I looked in an RM Williams shop and while we were in there a Chinese couple took a huge liking to Bentley's dance he does and took some video of him, I should start charging a dollar for everyone who videos or photographs him doing it, we could be driving a BMW by now. We went to Uncle Edys ice cream shop, which is a must if you are in Alice, this is amazing ice cream / gelato. Mack, who would ask everyday for an ice cream/icy pole for the last 8 years of her life, was beaten by a one scoop waffle cone and couldn't finish it, Dan and I pushed through but couldn't eat dinner. We did a tour of all the local spots, bridges, rivers, the casino etc. Its funny we have spent 4 days here and really enjoyed it but when I try to work out what we have done I'm not so sure how we filled our day, I know we are heading out mid morning and getting back as it gets dark so we must be doing something?!
