aLICE sPRINGS( THE real australian outback)

(at the alice springs resort, before the tour

Sept 19.07

Me and my sister decided to go to Alice Springs this weekend. Alice Springs is the Australian Outback. Si de ahi es que viene el nombre el restaurante que quebró en Sto. Dgo.

De la casa al aeropuerto cogimos una guagua hasta el tren, un tren hasta rockdale y de ahi el bus 400 hasta el aeropuerto, Ahorrandonos AUD$11.00 de pasaje en el tren ademas de tiempo.
Alice springs pertenece al Northern Territory, and its literally the center of australia, The desert.

Its very ironic the fact that is the only place without water restrictions. This is due basically because theres a water system the runs hundreds of meters underground.So it is just a desert on top.En este territorio se concentra la mayor poblacion de nativos aborigenes australianos. They might be the oldest aboriginal group on earth.

Jueves empieza el tour a ayers rock y kings canyon at 600 am. Our tour guide is virginia and our chef is Bogan. La mayoria del viaje la hicimos en un hibrido camion-guagua bien funny.Recogimos a los demas pasajeros y nos establecimos en el primer camp site en YULARA.
This was for sure a safari on style... (camel ride was optional)


(local dingo)

This is our 1st campsite. De ahi partimos a the Olgas. A compilation of hills and valleys. It was very hot that day, and dry everywhere. Pero con todo y que estas en medio de la nada,durante todo el viaje en la carretera y los sitios que visitamos habian baños o facilities available, as well as drinking water, decreasing this way the high risk of dehydration.

(Imaginense ir touristeando nuestro paisito... seria imposible pq no hay agua bebible en muchos lados y baños limpios, es mas baños en general no hay..)

The Olgas where about a 7 km walk or hike in very unconfortable conditions, but manageable. This depicts the end of the trip and before going back to the bus.

Gee i look tired,(damn i was!)

The next part of my trip to alice springs will be for later.
