After the highlight of seeing the children and their partners it was somewhat strange to get back in travel mode again. It didn’t take long though and soon we were on the road again.
First stocking up on food and other necessities like a collapsible bucket (our non collapsible bucket tried anyway and suffered a fatal end with holes and tears), Keen shoes for Marjo so she can’t hurt her toe any more on her long walks. We also went to the vet with Dotti as lately she licks her fur from her paw. Seems that a grass seed lodged itself in her skin and found that fertile enough to shoot roots within her skin. Marjo had already pulled it out (and a second one from Dotti’s tummy) but the wound stayed infected. Dotti got antibiotics as well as a shield to prevent her from licking the wound.
The day got very hot with temperatures nearing 40 degrees. We shouldn’t complain though as Sydney reached temperatures of over 45 degrees. We were glad to stop at a camp site though, set up and do nothing.
Nossi got bored so Marjo and he went to explore.
Marjo looked up and found trees and birds.
Nossi looked down and found water.
Then while we sat outside we heard the trees react to the heat. Branches cracked and popped and first a small dead branch fell down followed by a big one that threw up dust.
With many flies and later some mammoth size mozzies, we decided to stay inside and create some airflow using the electric fan and only went outside to admire the sunset.
A hot but rewarding day.
