So up again at 5am, loving every min of it !!!!
had a short trip to kings canyon. as we had camped near there. So today we have a 3 hrs hike, first thing we have to climb heart attach hill. sounds pretty big, but to be honest it wasn't as bad as i thought. and it is so worth it this canyon and by far the best such nice views and beautiful rock formations. canyon itself is pretty impressive. we got to walk down one of the canyons, into the garden of eden, its strange there is not much to see in kings canyon until we got down to here, this looks like a little oasis, which is why i guess they call it the garden of eden.
So we get there, we were told we can take a swim in it, but it is cold. well im from england don't you know. use to the cold water. So there were about 5 groups of people rangeing from about 10-20 people in each group, but for some reason no one was jumping in. well ian to the rescue again. Actually nick the tour guide jumped in he does it everytime, and lizzy joined us aswell. blood hell it was freezing, we didn't actually swim, just jump in breath very heavy then and jump straight back out, but i was glad i did it. i am only here once so why not.
Everyone thought we were mad, but i just think they are boring. plus with the weather out here, you don't freeze, actually i was dry in about 5min, once i had climb back on the canyon and was in the sun. Such beautiful view here, up the pictures above do them justice.
so that was the three hour hike, we then had about a 6hrs journey back to alice springs. we had a few stops, once for lunch. a few bathroom breaks and we also stopped off, so people could have a camel ride. I wasn't really interested in a camel ride. watched lizzy and a few others take one. was only $5 but still im not interested. it a bloody camel !!!! was fun watching them on it, the camel actually gave a little run, which kind od looked fun, but would of destoryed my man hood !!!! so give that one a miss was probaly a good option, i would like kids some day.
At the camel place they had a dingo, which is a dog to me and you, not sure what the differeance is, doesn't look like much to me. There were some kangaroos, and wow they had some little little babys, i believe they are called joey. could'n't of been very old one of them, was only about 10inchs tall. pretty cute though, i do have pic, but can't fit it on here, check out facebook if you want to see it.
Then back to alice springs. everyone was meeting up for a $10 meal and a drink and some dancing in bojangals, wish i had read the signs in bojangales when i got there, as they saloon is on webcam they have about 10 cams, set up round the place and they are on 24/7. shame i could of text and few people, and they could of watched me rock my little socks off. i know you guys back home miss my dancing. !!!!!
the beer out here is pretty shit if you ask me, i had a few but didn't even feel tipsy, shame but not to worry i had a good night. So random pisshead ozzie bloke asked me were i was from, i obvioulsy said south england, that was it he was off on one, his best mate is from south england, and he went off to phone him to find out where he was from and he is knew me !!! yeah like there is only about 10people in the south of england and we all know each other. so next min i know im talking to a few people that where on the tour, and now all of a sudden this bloke wants me to chat to this english bloke. ok so hd a random conversation with an english bloke on this ozzie blokes phone. !!!!! ok then. not sure what we spoke about can't really remember. nothing special i think he was actually from midlands. but there you go.
