At the moment staying here ... relaxing in Alice Springs. We immediately liked this small outback town, everything is nice and green since they had a lot of rain lately. Also the temperatures are just fine, not too hot though rather cool at nights.
Yesterday met some of the local bikers, the ones who regularely go out into the dirt roads. They could give us some great advice and latest infos about the outback roads. Many of the roads used to be closed or flooded just recently. However, the wheather now is just fine and the forecasts are good. So the Great central road towards Kalgoorlie is supposed to be just fine....
Yesterday we went to this local Drag Race where they race with cars for the quarter mile and actually smoke up a lot of tyres .... Marie-Theres reckoned she had never ever seen "such a stupid thing as this"!! ;-) ... for me it was like beeing in heaven with all this burnt fuel and smoke of burnt tyres all over ;-)
Werner and Claudia - a german couple - showed us around Alice on their BMW motorbike this morning.They have been around here since .... don´t know how many years :-)
Hey Othmar, you are sure covering a lot of miles. How are those backsides doing? ;)

HI da Spud,We seem to be having the same problems. :).... What nationality are you, .
ReplyDeleteYou are not Irish by any chance?
The Spud in Ireland means potato or the surname MURPHY.
wow, it has been a while since I checked in. Missed your Q Annie. I am American and live in Vermont. Actually 8/9 Irish with German surname. I used to own a restaurant called 1 Potato 2. We served -- Potatoes! Met OJ online in 2003 and we have been buds since. What is your connection?
ReplyDeleteAh, I knew you had to be part Irish :)We met OJ in Luxembourg this year through a mutual friend. Are you on Face Book.
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, Yep. A mutual friend of the friends in L and OJ. I visited all of them a year ago last August. Missed you by about 1 year I guess. I am the Bob when you hover over the non-pics at top right. :)
