Day 23: On Our Way To Coober Pedy

This morning was muddy and wet because of all the rain the night before. We got back on the road at about 8:30am to get to Coober Pedy. We went back to Woomera and did some stuff on the computer and ipad. After that we got caught up in a conversation with some people at a park. After we'd finished talking we went to get in the car and get back on the road. Dad turned the key to turn on the car, but the car wouldn't start, we realised our battery was dead. It took us about an hour to charge the battery back up and have lunch at the same time. It was about 12:30 before we got back on the road. We stopped at this lake and dad and I went for a paddle. The lake was salty.  When we got out we were really dirty and we couldn't wash our feet because we had to use our remaining water wisely. So we got back in the car and went to this other lake down the road. The other rest stop had a tap so we went to fill up a bucket so we could wash our feet. When both me and dad had washed our feet we got back on the road so we could get to Coober Pedy. We didn't end up getting to Coober Pedy, but we were close. We ended up staying at a place called Glendambo Caravan Park. It was a nice little spot with nice people. Mum and dad got caught up in a conversation with a man next to us and his dog Stormy. Stormy and Rosie got along well playing with each other(that's just weird because Stormy's three times the size of Rosie). After the conversation, we all came inside the van and charged a heap of stuff such as Ds, ipad and computer. After we'd put everything on charge, mum went to bed and so did I, dad stayed up and did stuff.
