Uluṟu
April 13 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
I got up at 4.30am and got ready for a day out. I picked up my packed breakfast from reception, weetabix and a fruit cup it turned out, and then drove into the park. I arrived at the sunrise spot around 6am and watched the sunrise on Uluṟu.

I then drove to the Mala walk and ate my breakfast before going on the free ranger talk.

After the talk I set out on the Uluṟu base walk which took a couple of hours.

I then headed back to the hotel and after a coffee I walked to the shops and had lunch.

In the afternoon I hung out on my balcony and shortly after 5pm I went to join my tour.

I went on the sounds of silence dinner. We drove a little way into the desert and started with canopies and sparkling wine while watching the sun set over Uluṟu.

Once the sun had set we were shown to our table and had dinner under the stars. At one point they turned all the lights off and we had a full explanation of the night sky.Read more

The Grand Staircase, Blue Mountains
April 5 in Australia ⋅ 🌫 12 °C
We got up really early due to the clock change and after breakfast drove to Katoomba. Despite the rain we set of walking down the 900 steps of the grand staircase. We then walked a few kilometres along the bottom of the cliffs, through the bush before starting our ascent.

About 3/4 of the way up, I saw a leech on my shoe and then found several others, including some I had to remove and left me bleeding. By the time we got to the top my trouser leg was covered in blood.

We made a slight detour to Scenic World so I could go in the toilet and check for more leeches but I didn’t find any.

We finished the walk along the cliff tops back to Katoomba.

In the town centre we went to the Carrington Hotel for a burger before coming back to the house.

I had a nap and then Simon and I walked to the shops.

In the evening Glam made pad Thai.Read more

We had a bit of a lie in and went for the buffet breakfast. After breakfast we walked to the supermarket and bought some walking snacks. We then packed up and left the suitcases at the hotel and walked to the city.

We found an outdoor shop and I bought a new rain jacket. We then collected our suitcases and caught the train for 2.5 hours from Sydney central to Blackheath.

Claire and Glen met us off the train and a huntsman greeted me at the car. After the spider was gone we drove to the house and after a quick turn around we went for a walk, finishing at the pub.
