We walked into the centre of Alice. Despite an extremely rare rainstorm last night the Todd River was, as usual, completely dry. We looked around a small aboriginal museum where we discovered that married men have nothing to do with their mother-in-law. We were in the back row on our flight to Ayers Rock (Uluru) and could only see the engine out of our window. After checking into our hotel we walked to the centre and then tried without success to buy a bottle of wine. In the evening we went to the 'Sounds of Silence' dinner. This involved being bussed into the desert and watching the sunset. We then sat down at tables to the sound of the didgeridoo while waiting to be called to the buffet to choose our tucker. We then had an engaging lecture about the night sky before being bussed back. We met some nice people and there were three honeymoon couples on our table. An entertaining evening if not exactly authentic.
