Hello folks!
Marissa and Chelsea checking in again. So our last post left off with us about to head to our Groovy Grape experience. In case all of you are wondering "Groovy Grape" is a tour bus experience- in which a group of about 20 people (including the ten of us) sightsee the outback. Over the coarse of a few days our bus added on the miles- as we traveled to some of Australias top tourist attractions (Such as Ayers rock). At first, some of us were not to keen on the idea of participating in such a touristy trip- but with the help of our lovely (as well as hysterical) 6'7" tour guide Aubrey aka- Aubs, Orbit, etc, we happily adjusted (or at least the girls did). Within our outback adventure we visited many sights including- Uluru (Ayers Rock), William Creek (AU's smallest town), numerous Aboriginal cave paintings, Cooper Pedy (where 80% of the world's opals come from), and King's Canyon (where we participated in a hike). During the course of this week we also celebrated Dawns birthday- which we started the day off waking up at 5' to watch the sunrise (which Dawn thoroughly enjoyed).
Easter was celebrated with lots of chocolate and long hours in the bus (and one special Easter Bunny suprise!). Overall we ended up really enjoying our trip and were sad to see our new friends go (especially our hottie of a tour guide...)
But things were looking up when we remembered that we had a week of relaxation in Alice Springs ahead of us. After being lazy bums for a day, we rented bikes and pedaled to a desert park 7 kilos from the hostel. Our hostel, by the way, is frickin cool. There is a pool, music is always blastin, and we have officially made ourselves at home.
Soon enough we'll say goodbye to Alice Springs and spend our last roughly 15 real days (Can you believe it?!, we sure as hell cant) in Australia on a yogic retreat just outside of Brisbane and scuba diving the Great Barrier reef.
Overall we are looking forward into making these last few weeks in the land down under extrodinary.
and with that,
Adios!
Chelsea and Marissa ;)
