Not the Larapinta Stage Race - Day 5

Monday, 27 August 2018

On our last day in Alice Springs we got up earlyish and went for a final run at Telegraph Station.  Despite the last few days of exercise I certainly felt better on this last run than I did on our very first run when I must have been coming down with my cold..  

Back at our nice little studio apartment (which strangely featured a table that could seat 10, but a couch (see below) that only could fit two, fairly un-comfortably)

we ate most of our remaining food. Then we packed up and did our only cultural activity for the holiday - visiting the local art gallery which was really fantastic.

Then it was out to the airport, where we enjoyed what must be one of the few departure lounges in Australia that allow you to sit out on the grass under the trees.

Our trip home was uneventful, the highlight being a lift from the airport from Granny (who had also done most of the child care in our absence) . Arriving home after 10pm we found the kids had put themselves to bed but left us a nice welcome sign..

We weren't sure how we were going to go with the 9am checkout time though!
