Today was a take-it-easy day after yesterday's marathon. Slept late, did laundry. Then went for a late morning stroll to the Olive Pink Botanical Garden, intending to have lunch at the Lonely Planet-recommended cafe there. Alas, it doesn't reopen from summer break until tomorrow. We'll have to try again. It was over 100 again, so we didn't feel like checking out the gardens. Strolled back through town, going in and out of air conditioned shops along the way.
Decided that there are some places we want to get to that are a bit out of town, so picked up a rental car for a couple of days. Actually, we rented a compact car, but what they gave us is a twelve passenger van. Randy wants to guide some trips to make a few bucks!
Went out to Simpson's Gap in the Western McDonnell Range late in the afternoon. It's only about a half hour outside Alice and is gorgeous! Hiked a couple of short trails there. There's nice, cool water in the gap - no swimming allowed!
