We’ve been in Coober Pedy for five days now. it only took three days to see what Coober Pedy had to offer. And that included looking at opals, checking out the mines and underground houses.
But today being Easter Monday, we’re starting to get bored while waiting for this part to arrive. I’m hoping it will be here by Wednesday. Tuesday would be better, but it’s due on Wednesday.
We’re all down to reading books at the moment and watching B-grade movies.
We’ve also missed the last few nights for the sunset, but tonight! we made it! And what a sunset it was.
We got there early this evening as we donned our hats and nets to ward the flies off. And they were thick tonight too.
Col, our friend who’s travelling with us, put his thermometer outside to check the temperature. It got to 62 degrees C. which is about 125 deg. F. Well,…in fact it really wasn’t QUITE that hot. It did get around 33 today. The cool breeze helps, but there’s a stifling heat here. I made Iced Tea this morning and some cornbread. My favourite for a hot summer day. The tea was refreshing.
I washed clothes while Chris put water in our tanks. And then we picked up some more groceries for the next few days. So we’re set to go as soon as that part arrives.
The desert has a certain beauty to it as you will see when you click on “More Photos” in the right hand column. Enjoy.
