Still blowing hard. The wind had swept all our foot prints away from near the steps. Had a chat with muff and puff and a talk with Cynthia.





Just before we left John took  this photo of the small dune created by the sand settling in the lee of the tyre.


Drove out and 120km’s further south. The drive to the coast was just on a sand road. At one stage there were poles to keep you on the road. Small sand dunes were across the road in places. As we were traveling slow we needed 4 wheel drive to get us out of one.

Found another spot on a similar looking beach at Balneario Mostardense, still windy. Just sat there for a few hours doing some computer work. I had a couple of wee naps. For some reason I’m very tired. A Brazillian guy and gal came and chatted to john, they are in a camper van for a month. They had got stuck on the road and had needed help to get out of a dune.
They are heading for Montevideo as well.

Drove a short way inland till we had Internet connection. John managed his call to the bank and then a call to Cynthia.

Decided to drive down the old road for a way and hide behind a dune for the night. Not so much wind blowing sand about here. Nice to be able to have a quilt on our sheet at night. I nice temperature at night now.
