After Kings Canyon, we had to drive back to Alice Springs which was around 4 hours. I was sat at the back of the bus with Kath and Emily, so we spent the time napping and chatting. We went through our highlights and relived the trip which was really nice.
This was our last day together as a full group
before we all split to either go home or join a different tour group. Emily and Kath were both going home, which I was really gutted about :( When we
got back to Alice Springs, we dropped Kath and Anna off as they were staying at different
hotels. It was so strange saying bye, even though we would be seeing them both in a few hours.
The rest of us then went back to the Alice
Springs Ibis to get ready for our last group dinner. Kath and Anna met us at the Ibis and then we had a birthday cake for
Shannon. We then got a taxi to the Lasseters Casino, which
was famous from Priscilla Queen of the Desert. We ate at a restaurant there called the Juicy Rump.
We had dinner, dranks
lots of wine and got a few cocktails. I got one which was bright blue, which I tried to convince Kath to try it but she wasn't keen! We got a few group photos and some with the compulsory duck face that had now become tradition,
Then it was time to say goodbye to most of the
group L A
few of us were carrying on to Adelaide but loads of people left. We also had to
say goodbye to Lisa, who was moving on to a different tour group.
It was really really sad. Even
though we had only been together for a couple of weeks, we had got really close
as a group. Emily, Kath and I ended up staying after everyone else had left. We went into the casino and played a
few slot machines, but it was hard for us to cheer up We didn’t want to say goodbye to each other L Eventually we had to and after some tears, we went back to our hotels :(
