Hello from the middle of nowhere.
Flew into Ayers Rock this morning (not literally, otherwise Im sure you would have heard about it). AND ITS SUNNY!!!. Except now its not as its 9pm. After spending forever waiting to check in, I got to my room. Its ok, nothing over the top, but its clean and comfortable, and presently thats all that matters.
After this, I had about ten minutes free time before it was on the coach for a guided tour to Kata Tjuta aka The Olgas. If you're wondering (and yes I can picture you all on the edge of your seats saying ''tell us Matt'') they're a rock formation formed around the same time as Uluru (Ayers Rock) but its a group of, well, domes I suppose. I would love to post some photos, but in all the rush I left my camera in my hand luggage, in my room. Doh!! I did have my phone with me though, so I did get some pictures, but you won't be able to see them until I get home.
After a walk up the gorge that runs through the middle of this range, we went to Uluru for sunset. We stood and had a glass of wine and some nibbles (which was just as well cos I was starving) and watched the sun go down over Ayers Rock. Except we didnt really as there was a lot of cloud cover ( I think its followed me), and it didnt change colour as it normally does (apparently).
After we got back to the hotel, and establishing that at least 3 people on the coach had connections to Cannock or Walsall (Im not going to say its a small world, as its actually the biggest thing we know of), I got washed, changed, and went for dinner. It was good, yes?
Im having a really early night. The resort is just 5 hotels and a couple of restaurants, so as there is nothing to keep me up, I won't bother.
Take care
Matt

What are you?...Forgetting your camera!!!Typical isn't it..the one day YOU go to watch the sunset and it's not normal. Maybe it's a good thing there's nothing to do as it'll give you an opportunity to have a bit of a rest and catch up on your sleep. Good to hear you're still enjoying the new experiences.Have fun, love big sis.x
Good to know you're getting some sun at last. Have you got the oppportunity to go back to Ayers Rock for a proper sunset? Sounds a real happening place but as sis says it won't do you any harm to catch up on some rest. Love M. xxxx
