Glad to see you are still living, and found a touch of internet connection Kathryn.
Shops / service station / pub are often combined in the one business, with nothing else available for long distance. Having a supply of something is a good idea, especially as its not a catered tour with its own supplies and cook. The unexpected does sometimes happen.
Thinking of you both, wishing you well on this tour.
Do they take in the sunset over the rock? Cue for a hill with a mass of coaches and people taking a gander.
My first outback trip, early in the travel from Darwin, involved all the passengers being sent to collect firewood - that would mean log sized branches - while there was still trees about in the north. Made a heap, then as much as was needed was tied to the coach roof. (Our mattress rolls were up there too.) The leftovers would be there for another tour trip, with a quantity taken by others passing by.
We had frost the night we camped near Uluru. And dingos about.
A friend was on a tour, way away from everywhere when the company went bust.
Then, not quite as liquidators would have it, they headed back to civilisation with passengers hands in their pockets to pay for fuel to get there. I'm guessing food on the bus could still get eaten, though legally that could be argued about. Hands in pockets to be fed too I guess.
Her partner now is a companion met from those camping tours, as they repeated the experience many times before the business failed.
Slow day here.
peer support online mtg this morning. Chat box supportive talk with another.
Washing is in and away.
I need move on with my afternoon.
Just begin.
Living this day, today
Take a reality check; Remember to breathe; Do what I am able to do.
Look for the good in all.
