Adventure time!
Preparing for a trip is a lot harder than I originally expected. Mix in finishing up exams, and then moving out my room in the apartment so It could be sublet, and you hand yourself a pretty crazy week!!! Luckily I had my family come up on the weekend to help me get organised and see me off. I would almost definitely have had a mental breakdown without them! The airport was stressful, but it was comforting to have mine and Nick's family there with ...
Kings Canyon to Ayres Rock
Monday 19th November
Up at 6.30am for breakfast as we wanted to walk along Kings Canyon before driving on to Ayres Rock. It is too hot to walk much after 11.30am.

The tour finished at the Anangu Cultural Centre where ...

I have never experienced heat like this, unless you count the few shifts I worked in the blast furnace at the steel plant. And I never thought I would ever utter these words, "But it’s a dry heat."
