Still Alive and Reporting from Kings Canyon

So after being at Kings Canyon for the past two days, NOW I discover where they hid the internet booth! But at $5 for half an hour, I've just jumped on quickly to check my email and make sure the world is still turning. I will write a full report of my recent adventure when I FINALLY return to Melbourne (and my own computer and my ability to webchat!!) this weekend.

The short version:

• Watched the sun rise and set over Uluru - WOW
• Walked around the base of Uluru and did the Valley of the Winds walk at Kata Tjuta with Jen - ASTOUNDING
• Walked with my Mom and Dad and Jen through the gorge at Kata Tjuta - GO MOM!
• Hiked the Rim Walk here at Kings Canyon - SO BEAUTIFUL
• Discovered that the "Beware the Dingoes" signs posted all over this campground are NOT just for show - we've now been up close and personal with Australia's wild dogs (some say subspecies of wolf)
• Enjoyed naps and time in the pool.

Tomorrow Jen and I will be driving to Coober Pedy, the opal capital of the world, and staying at an underground hostel. COOL! Then it's back to Alice Springs on Wednesday, catching the Ghan train to Adelaide on Thursday, and flying to Melbourne on Friday. I'm looking forward to getting home!

Gotta run!
