Saturday 24th August Saturday night bliss
With a good meal inside us from last night and breakfast not the best but so much better than camping, we were on the road just after 09:00, with the normal food and water stop just after. We sailed through the town, came to the first police check point, the guy waved Linney through, then Keith & I went through the wrong lane, he called us back, went through the correct lane all good, did not even show are passports! So on we went, through nice green pasture, with cattle and sheep grazing, we all knew this was not going to last. We soon hit the desert again, coupled with the dreaded head wind, we knew once again we were in for a tough day.
Though the road was really good, we just had to battle through the sand storms and head wind and take every opportunity to have a break, with the potential stops getting harder to find and the head wind seeming to get stronger as the day wore on. As we approached a big building (industrial)looked like a pre-cast cement works dust everywhere, Keith asked the girl at the front gate if we could have some water, she filled his 5 litre container up from a bowser, it will need to go through are “life straw” but we may need it.
Then like pennies from heaven as we turned the corner there was a road side café, with a fridge full of ice cold beer, mate you could see the smile on my face for miles, we tucked into some beers ordered a vegetable noodle dish and watched the world go by, then ordered the same dish again, Keith and Linney also went for some of the kilned oven mutton, yak or some meat dish.
Just before the light went down we moved on, with sole intention of only going around the corner to find a camp site, as we crossed the bridge, we pulled over, set up camp in good spirits and a very nice spot to boot.
