After three days of sweating buckets in the 40 degree heat of the outback it is finally time to relax in the pool on our free day. I am currently writing this post from the safety of the jacuzzi with a view of the guys throwing a ball around in the pool.
And what a pool it is…!
We spent the first day doing the 11.2km base walk of Ayers Rock, the second day walking around The Olgas and finally the third day at Kings Canyon all as part of the Topdeck Rock and Top tour. Several people in our original group have now left, either it being the end of their journey with Topdeck or are continuing their adventure down to Melbourne. There are 10 of our original group joining another group to head up to Darwin.
On Wednesday evening we spent one night in Australian Swags – which basically means a very large and very thick sleeping bag, with another regular sleeping bag inside…. Not the best in this heat!!
I’ll be honest I’m not looking forward to the thought of even more flies and bugs on our way up to Darwin but I will power through!
