Bowled Over!

I discovered yesterday evening why Perth was so busy when we drove back - there was a certain cricket match between England and New Zealand apparently.We only discovered when a whole load of people tipped up in the bar at the hotel when we were having a drink and we asked the barman what was going on. Then the boys themselves trooped in looking a bit glum. All except Freddie who was mouthing something to someone in the bar. Not me. Well I don't think it was, I have no idea what he was saying if it was!
Anyway we are at Ayers Rock and in our trip to Oz there were just 2 places I insisted upon staying at, one being Longtitude 131 where we are now. And I was bang on the money. It is the best place I have ever stayed in my whole life EVER. Not only are the views breathtaking, and I don't use that expression lightly - Uluru smack bang out of the floor-length windows in the bedroom, but the decor is super stylish and luxurious. And there's a help yourself bar!!!Champagne, the works.
We've just been on a trip to Uluru (mixed bag of fellow guests, guess you can't have everything!) and are going to dine under the stars later after a sundowner. A 4am start tomorrow though....
Sorry no photo, using the computer at Longtitude.
