Well, here we go, here we go, here we go.........again!!!! The time has gone so quickly, I can't believe we are back on the road again, or in the air I should say. Harvest finished well in the end, although what a stressful ending, it was certainly a long hard slog. Glen has been working so hard it seems like the only break he will get is off the farm. So today, we head to Perth and reach the airport by 8:30am. Glen drops me and the kids off to check in and get boarding passes while he runs the car around to our dear friends in Belmont who have kindly offered to help us sell it plus bring Glen back to the airport. He arrives with heaps of time to spare, but before long we are boarding the plane for Uluru.
The flight is only about 2 hours, so we just have time for lunch and a bit of a read and we are landing at Ayers Rock. It is about 2pm local time and very overcast and trying to rain. We pick up the hire car and check in to the Ayers Rock campground where we have booked a cabin. The cheapest accommodation I could find that has towels and sheets, and boy does it show!!! The cabin is made up of 3 rooms that are so small, not cat swinging allowed!!! Glen and I have to leave our bags in the kitchen as there is no room in the bedroom but the kids have two double bunks and they think it is the most fun ever !!! You have to unplug the tv to put the kettle on and the place looks like it hasn't had any work done to it for about 30 years, however, it has a pool and a playground and a barbi, what more could you want, especially considering our next option up was a $600 a night 2 bedroom 3 star apartment, ridiculous!!! Anyway, it drizzles on and off most of the arvo, so the kids play at the playground for a while and then we decide to go to the pub and head out to rock for the sunset. However, the rain gets heavier so we settle into the pub and play pool and have tea and decide the rock can wait until the morning!!!
