Thankfully we had a lay in this morning as we didn't have to check out till 10.30. We missed breakfast and slowly started to pack our stuff up and get ready to leave. Today was the end of the tour for some people, most of which I'm not overly bothered about, but it was Courtney's last day too. She was the first person we met when we got out here and we'd all been friends since. It's amazing how close a group of friends can become in only 11 days when you're livin...

This morning was tough. The toughest one yet. I don't really remember going to bed (champagne usually does that to me, cider afterwards guarantees it!) but I was in my top bunk, in my pjs so everything seemed to have gone to plan. I'd even managed to set my alarm for 6.30am. Good effort, until I woke up when it went off, wondering wtf was happening. A quick check of the other bunks and everyone was where they should be, with no waifs or strays for company! We wer...

It seemed like only 5 minutes since we'd turned the lights out in the prison cell. The alarm went off at 4.20am this morning and after several moans and groans from random bunk beds, we started getting up. Breakfast was at 5.15am and we were leaving at 5.45am. True to form I carried on with my eat at breakfast regardless of the time routine and poked down some peanut butter on toast. The coach was quiet on the way out to Uluru, but you could almost feel the exci...

I woke a few times in the night due to the breeze but it was so deadly quiet, getting back to sleep wasn't a problem. I woke properly at sunrise, the stars had gone and the sky was a beautiful orangey colour. Once it was light we packed away our beds, loaded the trailer, got showered and headed for breakfast. Bacon and eggs on toast, fantastic, just what I needed. A great way to end an absolutely awesome night. We all shared stories over breakfast about stuff tha...

Last night was a later night than I'd hoped, but looking at the state of some of them that rocked up this morning, I'd had a lot more sleep and a lot less to drink than they had. Up at 5.30am, breakfast 6.30am and left at 7am. Back on the road. They really weren't joking when they said this coach becomes our second home! This morning we had to 'pack down' which basically meant packing an overnight bag for tonight and tomorrow day. It's our swag night under the st...
