So Uluru. THE Rock.
I got to see it twice! Whoo hoo! Well, two days in a row. It was massive!!!
I loved it. I was hoping to climb up it.. but sadly it was too windy. Which we thought was a ploy. But one point on the ground I was swayed by the strong winds.
There is so much more to the rock then what is seen from post cards. We went there the first day just to talk about it and see cave paintings. Also to get sunset photos of the rock. I had a couple of beers and decided to "rest" against it. I am so clever! Haha. We got to see how steep the climb up is too. That's why I am pointing in fear at it. But if I ever get a chance to go back I will climb up that rock, darn it! The photo of the sunrise was really pretty. But as you continue to walk around the base of Uluru you realize you are just facing the sun coming up. So what starts out as "magical" just makes you squint and get sweaty. But when I finally got around to other parts and views of the rock it was pretty sweet. It took about an hour and a half to walk all the way around it.
All in all I was disappointed that I couldn't test myself by climbing up it. But it was such a beautiful sight that I couldn't be too sad. You could still see the moon as you walked so I felt like I was on another planet. The planet of the apes, actually.
It was a great tour and I suggest it to any one who would want to go. There are ritzier ones where you stay in a hotel and whatnot.. but roughing it sounds so much more fun to me!
