On the way to the Alice Springs Airport I took one last look at the infamous Todd River, renowned for generally having no water.
I reflected that I had gained a new, deeper understanding of our Indigenous people, the Aboriginals.
Since Leslye and I were going to different destinations: she to Adelaide to collect her car and continue her roadtrip, and I was headed home to Melbourne, we said our goodbyes at the hotel. Later we would catch up in Melbourne, but for now it was au revoir to my French friend.
As far as returning to Alice Springs, there are so many other places on my Bucket List, it is unlikely, but I am certainly glad I went. To my mind, there is no greater learning experience than a personal one.
Here endeth this blog. I hope to write many more travel stories in the future. Meanwhile, if you haven’t visited my first blog, about going around the world with my husband for ten weeks in 2012, be sure to call in at travelswithprincessandquiquinou.wordpress.com; and a big THANK YOU for everyone who dropped in to visit princesswonderlandinalice.wordpress.com – merci et au revoir.
