i was pretty sure when i arrived in alice springs that i was going to a desert. unfortunatly winter has fallen upon australia and its freezing! (by freezing i mean maybe 14 or 15 degrees centigrade. i think it may be warmer at home!) and i have a feeling its going to get colder as i go south...actually i know its going to get colder. im so ready for asia.
anyway...
the past 2 days here have been good. 2 nights ago, james, a trainee tour guide on our tour threw a bbq for everyone who wanted to come at his house. so that was really nice i thought. i tried some kangaroo....wasnt too bad i guess. comparable to beef. and then yesterday he took me, simon (english) and christina (german) out to the macdonnell ranges just outside of town and we got to see some rock wallabys and rocks and stuff. he then took us back to his place and we hung out all day. in the evening some more people from our tour - rich (english) and tony (german) came over and we rented movies and threw a bunch of pillows and blankets on the living room floor and had a bit of a slumber party. james's roomate also has a cat, smokey, who i got to cuddle with. made me miss ninja and feefee alot! but it was just so awesome. ive never met a better host. james drove us anywhere we wanted to go, took us around the city, picked people up and dropped them off at the airport and stuff. super cool guy.
and now i am off to adelaide. but before i go im going to check out a kangaroo rehabilitation place! baby kangaroos that have lost their mothers - SO cute!tonight i will be sleeping on a train (never done that before!) and tomorrow afternoon i'll be at my cousin ashley and melissas house. pretty excited to be able to sleep for free for a few nights so thats good. give my credit card a bit of a break.
hope you're all doing really well!
xxoo

Hi AliaBee;
Sounds like you had a good couple of days just relaxing. I wonder if that guy will always be inviting people to his house. I had visions of him always having house guests. Sounds like a typical Aussie though
Love, love, love
Mamma
bring me an orphan annie kangaroo!
wow what an awesome tour guide he was to do all that for you guys!!
cold? or colder then you've been used to. i guess that must be the case... it's about the same temp here and we're thinking it's pretty warm. :)
poor little roos. without moms. if you bring jenn one, can i see the baby-roo. (maybe they have orphans because you ate the mom at the BBQ? - that was a bad joke... it amused me)
tour guide sounds awesome... too bad you couldn't take him with you. lol. and a few nights with some family will be nice. have a great sleep on the train, and hopefully hear from you soon.
take care.
love christine.
"It amused me". LOLOLOLOLOL.
chris it couldn't have been a bad joke because i laughed out loud.
i'm going to go eat my steak now.
im glad you all laughed, because i thought it was hilarious... i giggled to myself as i wrote it. :)
I want a kangaroo!!!
