Today we went on a day trip outside of Yulara/Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. We were supposed to do this on our last day (tomorrow) but I pushed it up to accomodate for a possible Uluru climb tomorrow (fingers crossed!)

To the Red Centre!

This was another one of those unexpected trips which occurred due to the timing of certain events. Jetstar was having a sale (50% off!), I was pretty stressed out at work and needed something not related to work to look forward to, my parents also wanted to visit Uluru and it was just announced that the Uluru climb was closing on Oct 2019. So off we went!

It’s Christmas morning in Hakodate and we have a bunch of stuff to do today. Me and Adrian woke up nice and early to go take a tram to the Hakodate morning market for some fresh seafood.

I woke up a bit late and decided to go check out the Hirosaki castle. The castle grounds were covered in ice and snow and I believe in other months there’s an entry fee to enter the inner castle grounds but it’s free in winter. Probably a good thing as there were barely any people around except for joggers and a small amount of tourists.
