Still feeling a bit flat this morning (but Susanne's rather more unwell and having to deal with sniffly kidlets, although at least none of the rest of us got Lachlan's 24-hr gastro problems last week) so after both cabins were packed up we all breakfasted at the botanic gardens and then G&I headed for the airport. I managed not to confuse my ASMG backpack with anyone else's on the plane! 'Twas a fine spring afternoon when we got home so I went for a ride to the real beach - lots of people out enjoying the sunshine at Glenelg.
Seems weird to be back in such a big city as Adelaide, rather than a town of which you can see the entirety from the summit of Anzac Hill. Alice is definitely a place which grows on you and I really enjoyed my time there with parents in 2016 also. And now I understand why so many people go there for the Alice Springs Masters Games. We got pretty good value for our $70 Games fee: opening and closing ceremony concerts both with fireworks, complimentary backpack of course, with monogrammed hat & towel, 4-colour pen and stubbie holder. Plus there were the free uniforms for sports coordinators, ambassadors and volunteers (we concluded that the op-shops had to reduce their hours because all their regular vollies were busy with the Games), shuttle buses to take athletes to venues, signage for all sports' venues, podiums being brought to venues etc, medals of course. The NT Govt must pour quite a put of tourism money into the ASMG, because I somehow doubt that the local council gets that much in rates from a population of less than 30, 000.
