Hot and sunny, yet again. Today is my birthday so i decided to stay at the Ayers Rock resort for 2 nights, this would allow me to have a bit of a rest day, as well as visiting The Olgas and The Rock without my riding gear on.I headed out with just my shorts and t shirt on, i know its not big and its not clever. It was a scorching hot day, even at 10am the temperature was well up, made worse by the wind blast. Someone told me later on that the temperature had been 36 degrees that particular day.
I got to the Olgas after about a 45 minute ride, parked the bike up and went for a walk up the gorge. The walk took about 30 minutes. The surface of the rocks were an amazing sight, masses of erosion caused by the sands of time.
After the Olgas i headed back for Uluru. I drove all the way round the base of the rock looking for where you can climb to the top. I couldn't find where to go so i gave up and went to the cultural centre, where i had pie and chips for dinner.
After lunch i found where the walk commenced. However, i was slightly disappointed to find that the walk was closed due to high winds.
Came back to the camp site where i had a dip in the pool, the headache once again causing me a problem. I then gave the bike a once over to check everything was ok but found the gps wire has cracked, which i taped up and shoved a couple of cable ties on for good measure, job's a good un.
Later on i went to the Pioneer bar and treated myself to a fish and chip supper, accompanied by a couple of pints, then came back to the tent at around 9.30,
then good night Vienna.The Olgas
The Rock
