The chairs in the train were not comfortable and I had not enough space to strengh my legs. In the morning I had a backbone pain – this is the side effect of travelling in the lowest class… But the landscape on the other side of the window was beautiful… Red soil, green trees, blue sky… I was cooking my tea and coffee in the shower section (there is 240V power outlet).
Around 10 am we got a bad message through the loudspeakers: new fooding in the north. Train will go only as far as Alice Springs today ande will wait when they will repair the track. (how do they built their track, that they are so water-sensitive!??)
We arrived to Alice Springs in the heart of Australia at 2 p.m. Blue sky, hot – 28 deg Celsius.
Alice changes to the better – I have been here some 20 years ago going by bus north to south of the Australian Outback.
What now? Let’s wait!
Greetings to all of you from the red center of Australia!
