Today is another travel day, but we have a bit of a difficult time just getting the truck turned around in the narrow street.  It takes quite a few backward and forward moves, including folding the mirrors in and crushing a concrete driveway.  But we are able to turn around and then head off, winding our way past the huge pile of sand that had to be shifted to let us get in a couple of days ago.

We stop in the nearby town to do some cook group shopping and the carry on.  We have a brief stop for lunch.  The usual road side ham and cheese sandwiches.  We then drive for the rest of the afternoon, arriving at our campsite in the grounds of a hotel just before 7 PM.

It is hot and sticky when we arrive and it appears that it has recently rained.  Lots of bugs are flying around.  We find a nice spot away from the lights to set up our tent.  Then we just hang around and relax while we wait for dinner to be prepared.
