Scorching in Alice - Night 133

It was well over 100 again today in Alice. Nikki, Rebecca and I braved the heat for a quick walk to the Reptile Museum. Home to some of Australia’s deadliest snakes, some very tame lizards and the crazy looking Thorny Devils, the museum was well worth the price of admission. After lunch in the small downtown, we returned to the air conditioning and pool at our hostel. The rest

Pl;aying with Reptiles

of the day was spent working on the journal, uploading photos and relaxing. Tomorrow we leave at 5:30 am for Darwin, so another day of nothing was rather welcomed.

I apologize that my journal has been a bit light the last week, however, it is just too much to keep up when you are out in the bush. Taking photos is starting to become a chore as well.

What I Learned Today: I’ve hit the point where I’ve lost track of the days and dates. I have only three weeks left, but no end seems in sight. I think travelling has finally become a habit, it is just what I expect to happen tomorrow. Time has begun to slow down…in a good way. After crossing this Rubicon, I feel that real life will be much tougher to adjust to come March, or April, or August, or whenever I return to normal.
