It is happening. Tomorrow.
The trip to Alice Springs was really hot. But...
I saw water in Lake Eyre (amazing sight)
It RAINED while I was at Uluru (fantastic)
The country in central Australia was GREEN and EVERY bush was flowering.
And I am now happy driving an RV.
IT WAS FANTASTIC! Pity there were clouds at sunrise and sunset so the rock didn't become red - but you can't have everything.
Anyway, I am thinking of doing a circuit of 8 days from Seattle - where do you think I should go? Remember that I did a circuit from LA for 12 days and visited 23 National Parks including Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Goblin Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Canyon, Walnut Valley, Canyon De Chelly, Monument Valley, Zion, Bryce... and that was absolutely awesome!
