Wednesday - Uluru (Ayre's Rock)

Lovely flight this morning up to Uluru. Seat already booked when I got there, don't know how that happened but front row, loads of leg room and no one next to me, wonderful. Got to use business class loo too lol with real towels lol. Now the other half live! I have a window seat again and looking out the window as we fly we were only flying for about 15 minutes out of Sydney and then there was nothing, no houses just the blue mountains, the nothing. The soil is so red, you see odd salt lake then nothing. The first picture is of a salt lake. You sometimes see a road that stretches for as far as you can see, mikes and miles then it just disappears on the horizon. This is such a huge country. This flight is three hours long, like flying from Manchester to Spain! My at cases as well as me are getting around.

I have met some lovely people so far. A couple at the Rocks who I was speaking too whilst buying another print for Jude House or Jude Gallery as perhaps it should be known! The woman called me Shirley Valentine, she loved the fact that I was her age and had travelled this far all by myself. Then there was the guy at the top of the Blue Mountains who encouraged me to go under the barrier and to get near the edge to have my photo taken. I said ok you only live once to which he replied too right girl, you go for it. So I did lol and I don't like heights lol.


I have tried to avoid British people, something I always do when I travel lol. I have nothing in common with the majority of them except a passport and like the Essex couple generally speaking they are comparing everything with the UK. I keep quiet, see I can lol, then just listen to them moaning lol an they have no idea where I come from. In fact I have had a couple of people ask me for directions both here and in HK. I could actually give directions In HK lol.

When I get some decent free wi fi (she says hoping) I will upload some more Sydney pictures as they are on my phone and nothing has obviously synced. OK so back to Oasis on my headphones and looking at this amazing country.
