Started early and got stuck at the railway line into town. A massive train was just sat on the road. So great start we were late to pick up Sophie! Picked Sophie up and we were on our way at 7:30am. On are way down to Uluru, we saw Tom about 90km out of town. He set off at 3am hoping to break his record of cycling 200km in 1 day. We stopped and gave him a cold drink and a biscuit, we took some photo's and waved him off. We drove passed him, beeping, shouting and waving to him. Go Tom Go!!!
We arrived at Uluru about 3pm, we drove to the Olgas (these are another rock formation next to Uluru) and did the gorge walk, which was beautiful, so got some great photos. We then drove tot he sunset lookout for the Olgas. We saw a little bit of the sun setting but decided to chance driving to Uluru to see the world famous sunset. We got there just in time, opened a beer, sat and watched Uluru change colour as the sun down.
We were the last one's to leave and got some of the best images of the rock. Back at the campsite,we found that the fridge we just fixed 3 days ago was now not working at all. Yes another great piece of news, not!
Sophie went of to sleep under the stars in her sleeping bag, we thought she was mad, we offered her the bunk in the van, but see declined (there was signs saying Dingo's around, wild dogs).We arranged to meet her for sunrise at 6am. So we told her to be careful.
As we put the lights out to go to sleep, we watched rabbits jumping around the van and an amazing full moon rise up from behind the camper van. Off we went into Zzzzzzzzzz
Not long now!
So for all of you loyal people still looking for up dates on here. First of we're really sorry we have not up dated this more often. So its 6th May and we'll be home on the 24th May. Not long now until we're back. We are currently in Bangkok, waiting for our bus to Koh Tao. We are now going to relax and top up our tans on the beaches of southern Thailand.

This Tom seems dead keen, doesn't he? What are the Olgas? You had to be in Oz with a beer watching the sunset at Uluru! what a memory!
And then the fridge goes again???
I would have had to check Sophie every hour. Is she mad???
Your photos are really good, again.
For once I am up to date with reading your blog, commenting on what you have written and I have spoken to you twice today. I feel good!!!!!
And I have printed everything so far. Yeah!
All sounds good! It's true that you are both looking leaner. You are also looking more and more like Dad! Ha! :oD
Hopefully, gonna confirm the new job in Newcastle in a week or so, then get a rally nice flat. I've seen some that would make my old place look like a hovel :o) Then live it up for a couple of years, while I get chartered then who knows!
I get itchy feet when I read these, make the most of it!
