Pianosupernova...
This is now the fourth piano that I have touched in Australia, thought I'd try a new angle to play from this time. Shame about the loud location it was in and the pink champagne...Well Alice Springs was not what I expected...I imagined it to be a lot bigger and maybe cleaner too...
I stayed at a hostel with my German friend Daniela from the expedition. Seemed strange to have an outdoor pool at the hostel, guess I'll see alot more of that the further north I travel...
Everyone from the expedition met up at a place called Bojangles, for dinner and drinks. It was a real outback place but in the middle of the town. With saloon type swinging doors and peanuts on the tables which you could just chuck the shell on the floor...every step was a crunch in there! The toilets were strange too, with door handles on the wrong sides and the sinks tap not controlling your sink, but one say the other end...was a quirky little place...i liked it...
My few days in Alice, I spent going to the School of the Air, which is the base for the broadcasting of this service. It's amazing to think all these children, incredible amounts of kilometres away are learning from this interactive teaching on their computers...and to think that years ago it was just done using UHF radio, the first ones needing pedals to get them working! I also went to the Royal Flying Doctor Base, it was even more interesting after experiencing what we did in the accident...
We went to visit An in hospital and he actually only has severe brusing and is now out on crutches (we saw him in bojangles). It seemed so strange seeing him out, as I can only picture him really in the seat of the car, holding his hand and telling him my life story...which he has no recollection of... I was so happy to see him looking so well then, and just hope Ken the guy in the passenger seat comes out okay...
