This morning at Ayers Rock we had the luxury of sleeping in until 7:30. Naturally we both woke far earlier than that, given the early wake-up calls of the last four days. However, we had a late breakfast, lazed around the resort for an extra hour, packed up our bags and then departed for the airport. It was another day of hurry up and wait. Our meeting time in the lobby was supposed to be 11:40, but we were early, as we had to be out of the rooms by 10, and they did have free wifi in the lobby, so everyone was there plenty early. The bus loaded up and we departed at 11:32. Good thing, even though the drive to the airport was only eight minutes, our check-in and security process for 99 people took a little over an hour. Then it was to the plane, and off we went, right on time. But when we got close to Sydney, air traffic control put us into a holding pattern for about 30 minutes( be issue of weather, more RAIN) and we eventually landed, found everyone's luggage, boarded the bus and whisked to the hotel.
We pretty much threw our bags into the room, and dashed through the rain to find a place to eat dinner. Being Sunday night, many places were closed, but we wandered throu the rain until we heard music, followed the sound and found a little bar with casual food and sat down.
Weather forecast for tomorrow, when we have our city tour, is even more rain. Of course. We are researching indoor activities, but have pulled out our umbrellas and raincoats for tomorrow afternoon. More rain, although perhaps decreasing on Tuesday, and then we hope to see sunshine in Sydney on Wednesday, the day before we head home.
