Day 13 - A day in Yulara

This morning we packed up bright and early so Matt could head off to the mechanics. Chloe and I stayed behind on an empty camp site with our chairs and some snacks, the problem with towing your home is when it breaks and needs repairs you are suddenly homeless. Linda & Kristen came to our resue mid morning and provided us with a nice hot drink and some morning tea, a Tim Tam, I have not eaten a Tim Tam in two weeks and it tasted amazing!

Matt headed into the mechanics and the parts had arrived, but due to there being a public holiday here tomorrow they were unable to push us to the front of their queue. But my very clever husband with the aid of the mechanics tools and workshop has fixed the u-Bolt. Yay! We are all set again to continue on our wonderful adventure. We have had a couple of very stressful days & have been so touched by the support and encouraging words from our fellow My Swaggers. Thank you.

So today we didn't do much, seems a shame when you are in such a magnificent environment, but we needed to set our camp back up and have a relax. It was wonderful to have some down time.  We ventured into the little village to do some shopping & watched some aboriginal women do some dot paintings.

Tomorrow we are off to walk around the base of Uluru, Chloe has decided she doesn't want to climb it and would prefer to walk around. I'm happy with this decision, not sure I would have made the top anyway haha.
