hey everyone,
got into alice springs from cairns and the bad news is, quantas can't find one of my bags! it's the bag with all of my souveniors so if they can't find my bag, no one gets any of their gifts! i'm bummed but there's seriously nothing that I can do so hopefully they find it and mail it back to me in l.a. sucks! another thing that sucks! my memory crapped out on me and i've lost all of my fraser island pictures!!!! 2 gigs worth of memories lost in an instant, i'm so bummed!!!!! i tried burning my pictures onto a cd, didn't work, and the computer just deleted all of my pictures...ugh!!! talk about bad luck for this trip. so far, lost my bag, lost my pictures, and lost my camera one night in long island. this losing thing needs to stop!
so the outback is amazing. when we flew in, i couldn't believe what i was seeing from my small window from the plane. nothing like i've ever seen before, just tons of wide open space filled with beautiful red hues and amazing rock formations. man...it was breathtaking. there's nothing here! and it's so relieving because i've been so caught up with the city life along the east coast. i love the beach and small towns/cities but i've been waiting to get away and be somewhere just like this. in the middle of nowhere where luxury is minimal. gooood times!
it was a good last night out in cairns. didn't get to say goodbye to a lot of people but at least i have some peoples email addresses. i'm a little sad but it was also good to say bye to some people. the new group is not as cool but i do like our new tour guides, they're super chill and the vibe out here is so relaxed and "australian." i like it.
so no one told us that it was going to be so damn cold in the desert. we're all freezing our asses off but it's okay cuz i'm handling it. i did have to buy a scarf and beanie though...ugh...i have so many at home, i wish i brought some!
tonight after we got into town and settled in, we went to this tavern and had the chance to try australian meats. i got a mixed grill plate that included crocodile, camel, buffalo, and kangaroo. can't say that i fully enjoyed my meal but i did give everything a try. i liked the buffalo and camel the best but did not really did the kangaroo or the crocodile. bleh. i couldn't stop thinking about what i was eating most of the time, which probably spoiled my meal. oh well, i'm glad i tried it!
tomorrow should be cool. we leave for yularu and will finally get to see uluru!
