Day Two in Ayer's Rock

G'day Mates!

We are in the hotel lobby awaiting our airport transfer, as we are on our way to Cairnes. We will soon be snorkeling in one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World; The Great Barrier Reef. Remember Finding Nemo? Remember the sea turtles, and beautiful coral reefs depicted in the movie? We will soon be witness to that! Isn't that incredible? OK Rachel, breathe...I guess I'm so excited because this was one of the reasons why I booked this trip. One of my goals is to see all seven Natural Wonders of the World by the time I'm 50 years old. (One down, I saw the Great Pyramids of Egypt in 2005).

OK, eough about me. Christine is probably the most excited to leave the Outback. She was laying out in the sun for about 8 minutes and came back well done. She's in some discomfort from her sunburn, but Claudia's sudden spurts of laughter always lighten every situation. The bugs also drove us a bit crazy, but we are all in agreement when we say the Australian Outback makes for some gorgous scenery.

We had a very nice dinner last night too at a "fine dining establishment" here at the resort. We ate a bunch of stuff that we cant' pronounce and enjoyed the tasty wine of Australia. We ate like real grown ups.

Ok guys, our bus is here. As we continue our journey, we appreciate you staying tuned to read about our stories. Log on to the Blogaroni tomorrow for some more tales from the land down under!
