The last few days that I spent over in Australia seemed to be a blur. Camping in the outback for 4 days? Felt like 2. We saw so much and the Outback is one of the few places that will can never be compared to. Climbing the rim of King's Canyon and Kata Tjuta and walking the base of Australia's most famous landmark, Uluru, was completely out of this world. The importance that these formations hold for the aboriginals is astounding, and of all the things we've seen, Uluru was the one that had the most impact on me because of how sacred it is. I was unable to see the colors of Uluru change because it was cloudy and raining almost the entire time we were out there (it's a desert. go figure!), but I enjoyed every minute of it. Coming back to Sydney was a wake-up call that it was almost time to depart Oz, as many Australians so lovingly call it. I spent my last two free days there relaxing and doing some last minute shopping. Our last night there we all went on a dinner cruise around the Harbor. The Harbor and skyline are beautiful at night and there was an amazing light show being projected onto the Opera House. Jen and I started a little dance party in front of the cabaret singer and we got some other people on the cruise to join us as well. It was a perfect ending to a perfect trip, and we went out with a bang! =)
