Well I got this tour from Joran and Christine for my birthday!
From the camping in Yulara, the AATKing bus picks me up at the bus shelter with about 25 other people already in the bus.
We drive the 20 minutes trip with lots of inside stories from the bus driver, who had a very hoarse voice.
And there it is, The rock, Ayers rock or Uluru, and some tables with white table cloths and champagne and healthy nibbles.
We each got a camping chair from the bus driver and he mentioned the number of the bus, and that we have to be at that bus around 20 minutes past sunset.
I thought there is only one bus but ok I will remember the number!
Good thinking Marjo, because there were many more busses to come, with loads of Japanese people (it is holiday time in Japan at the moment).
I settled on my camping chair with my champagne and camera, and really focused on the color changing of the rock formation.
The woman next to me wanted the rock up side down through her champagne glass, I think she was a bit bored, because it took a while before it changed color.
Some good pictures came out of that evening, mainly the rock changed color, not the sky so much.
I wished on a purple red orange yellow behind the rock disappearing sort of sky.
But hey, this night the sky was like this, and I am happy to have seen it!
Thanks so much Joran and Christine!
Lots of love,Marjo
