Sa var vi lagom matta pa Sydney och ville bege oss till Ayers Rock, ni vet den stora brun/roda stenen mitt ute i ingenstans! Vi hade varsin biljett till Ayers Rock, men det visade sig att det ar battre att flyga till Alice Springs dar de flesta guidade turer utgar ifran. Sagt och gjort, vi ringde Qantas for att se om vi kunde anvanda vara biljetter till Alice Springs. Stangt pa Crew travel...hmmm, det blev till att ta en chansning. Sa vi packade vara saker pa kvallen, gick upp kl 07.00, tog en taxi till flygplatsen och ringde Crew travel pa vagen. Inget svar, inget svar. Planet skulle ga om 1 timma. Till slut svarade en trevlig man, vi listade oss och kunde anvanda samma biljett. Incheckningen gick undan. Damen bakom disken kollade varken pa biljetterna eller vara pass... Det kunde lika garna statt Sydney-Tomteland pa biljetten. Plats fick vi, hopp pa planet, inga pass i gaten heller... jag kunde ju hetat Stina och skickat min van Abdul att aka pa min biljett om jag sager sa.... 2 timmar och 45 minuter landade vi. Det enda vi sag var sand, sand, sand.... hmm, tja nat gront har och dar kunde skymtas.... Sa klev vi av planet, kaptenen hade sagt att temperaturen var 39 (nu snackar vi i skuggan), men det kandes mer som 50! En vagg av hetta slog emot oss! Vi kopte en tur pa tre dagar for att se den beromda stenen pa nara hall, vi beger oss imorgon! Spannande varre!
We felt that we had enough of Sydney for a while, and we decided to go to Ayers Rock, you know, the big brwn/redish rock in the middle of nowhere. We all had a ticket for Ayers Rock, but we had been told it was better to go to Alice Springs, where most guided tours departs from. So we called Qantas to find out. Crew travel was closed for the day, we had to take a chance, so we went home to the hotel, packed our bags. Woke up at 07.00, took a cab to the airport and called crew travel on the way. No answer, no answer.... But then, just 1 hour befor take off, we were in luck! We got on the stand by list, were told we could use the same tickets and off we were! The woman at the check in desk didn't even look what our ticket said, she just took it, checked in our bags and gave us boarding pass. No id check at the desk, at the security check nor at the gate.... That was new... After 2 hours and 45 minutes we hit ground. 39 degrees in the shade we were told.... it felt like 50!! We bought a tour for three days to see THE rock, leaving tomorrow!
