Woke up and took Paul to the airport, spent the rest of the morning cleaning everything that has been solidly coated in red dust when we had been offroad. I hadn't realized what the big rubber mats that hung down from the back of 4wd's were for until I found half the simspon desert in the back of mine. Went op shopping and baught a pair of shorts for 50c (bargain), then wandered around town. I'm never quite sure of the aboriginal people who hang around the town; for all I know they could just be waiting for a friend or chilling out but I just don't get the most friendly feelings from them. I also posted some signs in the other hostels telling people I am looking for someone to come with me. Watched a movie at the hostel in the evening and that was the day. The next morning I decided to switch to a carvan park from the hostel dorm that I had been staying in as there was just way too much snoring going on in such a small room. Someone had stolen my thong (just one) so the first job was to hunt them (the thong and the shoe thief) down. First thing for the day was to visit a rubber store to buy some self adhesive foam-rubber that I stuck to the back door in the hope that it seals a bit tighter. Only a $10 fix so we will see. While I was in town buying some milk a German girl Denise called asking if I still needed someone to come with me, so 15 minutes later I have a travel partner. We hopefully will be leaving tomorrow at 10.Back at the caravan park I managed to lock my keys in the car, not a problem as I kept the clothes hanger wire from last time and 5 mins later and I'm back in the car (I'm getting way too much practice at this). I ended up chatting to the guy camped next to me for the evening as we had dinner and then sipped on some port; probably as good a send off as Alice is going to get...
