Sunrise at Uluru or Day 3

On day three I guess I have to admit it´s not even a real dessert... It´s a semi-arid area that means that it rains every couple of weeks and that there´s a lot of water underground.
It is possible to see the black algues strains where the rain flows down occasionally.

The sunrise was stunning to watch and very chilly so that I was very happy about the beany Amanda made me on the horse farm.
The pictures can never catch the whole beauty of Uluru but we tried of course. On the photo at the sunrise there is Jane, Julia and me.

To get warm we did the whole walk around Uluru. So because it was cold we even walked faster and after 10 minutes Ash, Charles,Robert, Thomas and I lost the others behind us.
We learned about a female serpent living in Uluru and heard about her nephew coming to Uluru. He was running away from Anagnu warriors because he did something wrong.
One of the warriors hit him with a speer and he should look after his injuries.
The warrior didn´t and when the serpent saw it she got very angry and made this warrior to stone.
To save her nephew they became the rainbow serpent who lives in the waterhole visible on the photos which must have an awesome waterfall after rain.

The best thing about walking fast? You´re the first ones who get food (and the most).
After these amazing three days it was time to drive for forever to get back to Alice Springs.

The Uluru and Kata Tjuta were just sandstone layers underground back in the days. But then the Alice Springs earthquake came across and Kata Tjuta was horizontal lifted up with a little shift to tje right.
Instead Uluru turned upside down so that we actually just see a side of the sandstone which was 6000 m deep underground. The left side is an older layer than the right side in conclusion.

In the Rock Bar we had the after party with lots of fun later that night.
Julia and I were the only people coming from the other hostel and we really turned that bar into a party.
