Hot and sunny again. I cleared off from Alice around 9.30, went for a quick look at the telegraph house and moved on. About 40km out of Alice i saw a guy on the other side of the road on a scooter, one of those things that you stand on with one leg and push with the other. He was as happy as Larry, whoever he is. He gave me a huge wave and went merrily on his way, no shirt, no water, nothing. One of my biggest regrets is that i didn't pull over and have a chat.
I did about 370km today, its really hard work riding in these conditions, constantly sweating and trying to do anything to make the ride interesting.I stopped at a camp site called Wycliffe Well. The place appears to have one of the highest incidences of UFO sightings in Australia. Pictures and stories from newspapers adorn the walls. One woman even reckons to see aliens every night, yeh. Had an early night, about 9pm as tomorrow is about 570km up the road to Daly Waters. The chain is now looking really worn, will it last mon ami?
I also met the Luddingtons from Nottingham, they were taking a year out to tour the world. http://luddsontour.travellerspoint.com/85/
