The heater stopped
this morning so we took the pump off and blew it out with compressed air hoping to dislodge dirt. Put it back
together but the heater still didn’t work. Sprayed more WD40 on the steps again and
took lots more photos of cacti and the view.
A section of the road out.
Didn’t get under
way till about 12.30, continued north on the newly dressed road. A
windy road down but not as steep as coming up. The colors and the
vegetation changes often. Lots of cactus and prickly bushes but most
of it dead. Purples, greens & yellow all colors of the ground, quite an amazing drive.
Out onto seal for a
short period and then back onto dirt. Still following the guy fixing
the track. Just as well as there are still edges missing where the
recent rain has washed chunks of the edge away.
A fantastic drive
with all the colors and the road. Very slow going though probably
averaging 25-30 k/h. On the last section there were a few homes with
goats. Very basic living.
Back to the black
top and found a corner of road just above a dam near Casas Punta de
Guana.
We are booked into
Kaufmanns on Friday 8.30 in La Sarena to get chains, two tyres, and a
backing for the left hand mirror which is cracked. They have not
sourced the tyres yet so not sure what we will end up with.
