Catch Up

What to say...!!  A lot has happened since we have left the farm.  For the first few days of our holidays, Dylan and I travelled up North to a place called Alice Springs.  It was a 19 1/2 hr bus ride but that also includes the mandatory stops for the driver.  From there we did a tour to Uluru or Ayers Rock.  It was incredible.  For those of you who don't know, Ayers Rock it is basically a big rusty rock in the middle of a desert.  Well to us that is what it was, but to the Aboriginals it is a very sacred place.  We got to learn a fair bit about the culture and the people.  We were hesitant to go at first because we thought that we would be disappointed, but we chose a sunset tour so we watched the sun go down and the colors change drastically of this enormous rock.  

From there we headed to Cairns where we started our last vacation.  We had enjoyed it so much that we decided to come back here again.  Our accommodation is right on the Esplanade so we have access to many shops and the local swimming lagoon.  Our main focus was to relax so to be honest, we have not done much around here!  On Sunday we are heading to Sydney where we will spend the rest of our time.  We will be there for 7 days and then we will be on our way home!  

I am sorry that there are no pictures with this post, but McDonalds provides free internet so we have been using that and as you can imagine it is extremely slow and very busy so it would take a while to upload all of our pictures!!
