A leisurely breakfast in Adelaide and we almost missed the train to Alice by going to the wrong station! Just as well we asked.
The Ghan needs more than a short blog so I will be aiming to write a longer article (not sure this is wise, with all the sh*t I will take, but what the hell) and will post it later.
In the meantime we have just arrived in Alice Springs after 26 hours on the train - surprisingly it didn't seem to drag at all. Met some lovely people, drank a very large amount of great wine and if Nareesa is to be believed I talked bollocks for about 20 hours out of 26. Lovely comfy beds though when we did reach them.
Never mind, I get 10 out of 10 for enthusiasm. We did get up for the spectacular sunrise somewhere well into the "red centre" - accompanied by bacon and egg butties - very civilised. And for now, a few pictures just to give a flavour...
They don't do it justice but then they never do.
