After having our 2nd jab yesterday, we both slept in for a while. Our walks were also kept short due to feeling just a little "off". After breakfast we headed into the city on foot to the cinema. We figured we may as well go see a movie seeing we couldn't do anything too strenuous. Opted for Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt and The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. It was a good-fun movie with a romantic thread and great ending. There were some weird scenes with amazing special effects as well.
By the time we got out of the cinema it was lunch time so we paid a visit to Asian Noodle House. The meals were so big we had to take the leftovers home in a doggie bag. We carted this bag around with us as we finished the Alice Springs History Walk started two days ago. Some of the sites were more interesting than others.
Back home for a rest and a relaxing afternoon.
