The Olgas: Stenformation i narheten av Ayers Rock/
Stone formation near Ayers Rock
Forsta dagen korde vi i ca 5 timmar. Kvicksilvret nadde 44 grader i skuggan och det var sa ja**a varmt! I denna behagliga temperatur skulle vi gora en trevlig vandring pa 6 km kring Kings Canyon. Men pga hettan stallde var guide in den promenaden, det var tredje gangen han nagonsin gjort det! (Konstigt hur jag lyckas pricka in temperaturtopparna; i Perth var det den nast varmaste julaftonen nagonsin, och nu detta...)
Vi drack vatten till max, anda madde manga av oss lite daligt i varmen. Vi gjorde en kortare version av promenaden, men efter halften, vande nagra tillbaka, daribland jag. Ni vet ju att jag i normala fall gor i princip vad som helst for ett snyggt foto, men aven jag kanner mina begransningar. Nar knoppen borjar snurra, da ska man sitta ner i skuggan, det ar mitt rad!
Nar vi anda talar om varme och halsa, sa kan jag namna att en tjej i gruppen madde sa daligt igar att hon var tvungen att soka upp ett sjukhus (ps. en annan person hade tidigare dott av uttorkning pa samma sjukhus). De gav henne dropp och hon var sa illa daran att hon inte kunde fortsatta och blev idag flugen hit till Alice Springs av "the flying doctors". Hon var mycket dalig, men kommer att bli ok.
The first day we drove for 5 hours. Outside temp. 44 degrees (in the shade of course)!!! Yes, now we were suppose to do a walk of 6 km around Kings Canyon, but our guide cancelled it. It was the 3:rd time he had ever aborted that walk! The heat made us drink- ALOT! Some people felt sick. We did a shorter version of the original walk and several people, along with me, went back to take cover from the sun after half of it. As most of you know, I normaly do anything for a great photo, but even I know my limitations. When the head starts spinning, it's a good idea not to push yourself!
Speaking of the temperatures, the next day one girl felt worse. She ended up in the nearest hospital (where another person had died that same day of dehidration), and today she was flewn in to the hospital here in Alice Springs by the flying doctors. She was pretty bad, but she will be ok.

Do you see his smile? He's smiling when he looks at Ayers Rock, says the legend.

Vi sov under bar himmel! Varmt till max. Men for att skydda sig fran flugfan, var vi tvugna att anvanda sovsacken.... 41 grader kl 19 pa kvallen..... Liiiite for varmt for en svensk.We slept under the stars, beautiful! But it was damn hot! Due to the flies we still had to use the sleeping bag. I had a look at the temp at 7 pm, it was 41 degrees...... just a liiiittle to hot for a swede....
Istallet for att ha foton som detta har, lite trakigt, lite for normalt, tja, da kan man ju gora sa har istallet:
Lite tungt faktiskt.... A bit heavy I must admit....
