Today is our last day of fun in Australia. Tomorrow begins the journey home.

We started off the day bright and early with a hike to watch the sun rise over Uluru and Kata Tjuta – the spiritual icons for the Anangu, the aboriginals who live here.  The sunrise and hike were great, but the amazing number of flies that constantly buzz around your head – they seem to LIKE bug repellant – made it a necessity to constantly swat around your head.  Many of our pictures feature people swatting around their heads!

An afternoon of relaxation and pampering at the hotel spa, and we were ready to head out to the Sounds of Silence dinner and Fields of Light art exhibit.  Great dinner – we tried kangaroo and crocodile! – and a fantastic astronomy talk and beautiful walk through the art exhibit. What a way to end our trip!!

It’s been an amazing trip to this proud, diverse, friendly country.  But we’re definitely ready to go home. See you all soon!
