Our 5 star camp was still beautiful this morning the hills went pink then white. A beautiful sunrise. We had internet so did some work. John going well with his projects.

Had an early lunch and left. Within the first 10 minutes we had a flat we could hear the air escaping over and above the engine, rattles and road noise. A big hole in Rear left.. So there goes our neat tyre rotation…..
Drove on yellow roads and passed a lot of grape vines and wineries, peach and apple orchards. The grape vines had netting up their sides which held the leaves in tightly. Have not seen that before.

They are picking the peaches but did not find any to purchase. Most of the little towns were all closed I guess the sleepy time of the day.

We had to drive on the main red road for a way and was not enjoyable to much traffic and getting stuck behind trucks. Another yellow road this time gravel. 70km/h road for a while then dropped back to a 40km/h road. Arrived at the parqu entrance to be told the road was closed as it was raining at the diamond lagoon (45km’s). We were told we could camp there in car park but said we liked being alone, so the guard told us of a wonderful camp just 6km away. Another 5 star camp.
