Just a very quick update: Spent the last three days around Uluru (aka Ayers Rock). This was something I hadn't planned to do originally, because I'd seen the photo so many times that I thought it would probably be kind of boring. I'm so glad I changed my mind! It was an organised tour, great group, great guides and we went on wonderful hikes and camped under the stars at night (just sleeping in swags, which are a kind of more sturdy sleeping bags with a little mattress inside). I loved it! But it did feel good to take a shower again tonight at the hostel in Alice Springs. Uluru is really so much more than just the standard sunset photo (although I took about 200 of them, as well), and the surrounding area with Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta (aka The Olgas) is also breathtaking.

Hej Meike,
your photo looks like the 'valley of the winds' - walk. At least it could be the first part of the trail...a real shame if you hadn't visitedt ULURU while being downunder - have lots of more fun!

Hi Meike,
now it's official - blogs are dangerous - they can cause "blog-addiction" and severe cases of "Reisefieber".
I am desperately trying to win the lottery so I can come and join you - but so far I've only gotten two numbers right. Guess I'll have to stay and work...
Continue having a great time and sharing it with us!
Alles Liebe,
Uli
