Alice Springs to Yulara

We wake up, eat, pack our luggage, and I ceremonially destroy the "World's Worst Hat."

We then take a bus tour from Alice Springs to Yulara, the resort town near Uluru and Kata Tjuta. We switch buses and take a tour of Kata Tjuta (also called the Olgas). We walk in with heards of other people. We can not leave the walkways and the experience is very controlled.

We then drive to where we can watch the sun set on Kata Tjuta. We are initially nonplussed, but our attitude changes as the sun sets. It is beautiful.

We opt to have an Auzzie barbecue. We are driven from the sunset site to another place where we can still see Kata Tjuta, but also eat and drink. Although the sun has set, the rocks are even prettier.

We enjoy the people at our table, eat and drink too much, and go to bed.

I'll post photos and add some detail when I have a better internet connection.
