Days 21 &22

We ahved roasted at Uluru. The temperature on Monday was 104 and today hotter. We saw the rock at sunrise- very interesting to see the colours change. We then walked a bit to a water hole and heard some of the aboriginal creation stories. Then to the culture centre and byu 10.30am we were back at the hotel. In the afternoon we dragged ourselves from the airconditioned room and went on the bus to see another stupendous rock formation Kata Tujuta and then bakc to Uluru to see the sunset again. Today we had a lie in and then caught the shuttle bus to the town centre where there is a restaurant, a supermaket a news agent and some touristy bits. Then we left the heat of the desert and caught the plane to Cairns. where there is flooding- there are water logged fields all around and the level is almost up to the road on the bridges. The apartment we are in is in a very grand complex- we have a studio with a washing machine, dryer, w-up machine incase we want to use the cooking facilites. We have a balcony overlooking the pooland the beach is across the road. It is now raining again but tomorrow we go out on a boat, so we hope for dry weather.
