Just a little reminder...
We saw this sign a few times while driving in the desert!!
So once we got to the Alice Springs airport we thought we would just rent a car and it would be easy!! WRONG!! We got to this tiny airport, the ones where when you get off the plane out side and half to walk back in ! lol once we got our bags we went to look for a car to rent, but they were all either out of cars or it was about 130 au$ per day so we thought that was a bit to much and would try to find something cheaper once in the City! We met a swiss couple who wanted to share a cab to go into town because in alice springs they dont have buses !! For the first time at an airport we had to wait for taxis to come, and not the way around where taxis wait for you to come lol! So we waited about 20, and while we waited our new Swiss friends, who were in the same situation as us and need a car they started to call some camper van companies! We ended up taking the last 2 camper vans we could find but it was a huge camper van(like a little studio haha) nothing like the little Jucy one from NZ, this one had a shower and toilet, a real sink(not one where you have to pump for water haha) with hot water and everything! But also a lot harder to drive, and this time I wasn't allowed to drive since I'm under 21... But i don't think i would of wanted to drive such a big thing! ahah

The next Day we were off to see the famous Uluru Rock aka Alyers Rock but since I'm not the best map reader... I got us lost and we ended at West MacDonnell National Park which is about a good 200 km detour! whoops my bad! :( So we ended up sleeping at The Ellery Creek Big hole, where we only payed 6.60 to park our camper van and sleep! lol Anyways it was still a very pretty spot where we saw a beautiful sunrise ! And i must say me making us take a big detour wasn't that bad because the next day we spent the whole day driving and it rained that day, so it wouldn't of been a good day to see those beautiful rocks anyways. lol
