Day 65: Sunday in Alice Springs (05/08/12)


Although some of the locals have been predicting that the Alice’s coldest days are still to come, we have been experiencing the opposite. Today was a very mild day indeed.
It started off with free pancakes this morning at the caravan park. The kitchen area is right next door to us, so all we had to do for breakfast was pull out a plate, toddle over, receive a pancake, apply syrups or whatever and eat. Everybody had to wear name tags which got over introductions etc. A nice way to meet people. There were about 200 people present.
Joke’s back had not improved during the night and she found sitting down a pain – literally. But as the day progressed things started to ease up, aided by a gentle level walk. Hopefully the healing process will continue.
We watched a video sermon of Rev Steven tHart on LD 29 about the Lord’s Supper. He explained at length the different strands of understanding of the LS between Zwingli, Calvin, Luther and the Roman Catholics. It was surprising to hear that the Evangelicals on the whole have taken over the Zwingli view of the Lord’s Supper as a comfort meal. But it makes sense when explained.
Today was a day of rest. We didn’t even leave the caravan park. Joke’s back is the better for it, and so is the blog, because I finally got up to date.....
What? A blog from me with no maps in it? This needs to be fixed right away! SO here goes..This is the trip to date. Bit of a clutter with the drop pins, but you get the picture. "J" is Cooktown - furthest from home. "U" is Uluru - closer to our WA offspring than to home! Now to close the loop.....
