King's Canyon - Alice Springs - day 27

This morning we slept in... until 6h! We left the camp at 7h and were ready to climb up King's Canyon by 8h. King's Canyon is a big canyon that's really beautiful and way more impressive than Uluru. We walked around for about 3 hours in the sun, through the Garden of Eden and up and down the cliffs, with some amazing views! We saw a nice lizard and a big waterhole with birds around it. The walk was really worth it, even though it was very very hot and we were exhausted when we got back to the bus at 11h. We drove back to the resort, had lunch and headed back to Alice Springs. On the way, we saw a horse that had very recently been run over, it was one of the most disturbing images ever. We also saw a wild camel that Tanja had seen before and named Humpy. We got out to see it and also got a pretty close look at a dead kangaroo by the side of the road. After about 4 or 5 hours driving, we got to Alice Springs. We all met up and had dinner at a saloon called Bojangles. For dinner we had emu, kangaroo, buffalo, camel and crocodile! We also held a snake around our neck! (it was a 2 meter long jungle python)

Weather: very very hot and sunny

Hoi lieve Nathalie en Pierre, ik ben blij dat jullie weer "in the air" zijn. Wat hebben jullie weer veel gezien! Maar dat je na al die dode dieren langs de snelweg te hebben gezien, ze ook nog als diner
kreeg, lijkt me niet zo lekker.
Nathalie, did you get the firewood??? Of was dat door een Duitse toerist gehaald? Haha
Heel veel liefs,mama (pas wel op voor die Aboriginals)
