DAY 75 - 03/05/2010 - Alice Springs, NT

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary and it is also May Day, a public holiday in the Northern Territory. We are going to celebrate it at the Alice Spring Races. Today is important race meet. It is the Alice Spring XXXX Cup. The girls have never been to the races before and are very excited.



As soon as we arrive, we put a bet on Spacattack, who comes third and we only really get our money back. Its a good start to the betting day. We don't win anything on the next 3 races but the drinks go down well.....for Waz that is. I am designated driver. It is really hot here today and we are in full sun.


We put a bet on the last race, the main race of the day. The horse's name is Granzig. I am confident that we have picked the winner. Its a real winners name. At the start of the race Granzig was coming last then it started to speed up and came in first. It was a great feeling and ended our day on a high note. Our winnings almost covered what we had spent during the day.

We finished our great day with some yummy pizza for dinner.
