Famous last words: ‘Never
Make Plans!’ But what if I am not the one making the plans?
I have decided to try another tack. Instead of my trying to
make plans only to have them fall through, this time, I decided to let someone else make the plans – I have
booked a flight to Ayers Rock with a stay in a lovely hotel near Uluru and an
evening of partying and star-gazing. There is also a morning climb before I
have to get back to Canberra.
It was, if the truth be told, pretty easy! I just walked
into the travel agency, told the woman at the desk what I wanted, she booked it
all and sent me the reservations and all the necessary paperwork. It was a
snap.
So this time next week I will be writing from Uluru!
As for this
weekend... I rented the car and yesterday did a bunch of the touristy things around
the city of Canberra. I didn’t want to venture too far afield this yesterday,
mostly because I wanted to get used to driving on the left again before I did
any serious highway driving.
So, I went to the capital, the war memorial, the market, and
the train museum. I drove around and didn’t do too much that was noteworthy. But
I am happy to report that it comes right back. I’d say “like riding a bike” but
since I was run off the road a couple times by complete road-hogging wankers
when I was riding my bike in London, I think I will omit that phrase!
Wherever you are this morning I hope that your weekend is
going well
