For my first trip out of #muscat I head to #WadiShab to hike and swim to a waterfall hidden in a cave. If this isn't magic then I don't know what is.

My second day in the park, I was back at #Uluṟu, opting for a Segway tour around the base to avoid walking in the heat. In the evening, I made an impromptu visit to Kata Tjuṯa. I'm so glad I did.

A few things pop into mind when I think of #Sydney: the Opera House, a flat white, and #BondiBeach. An Uber driver suggested the coastal walk from Bondi, and so I set out to do the walk to Coogee on my second day in the city.
