Well, well, well.... well

we are into day 6 of our trip. This morning while visiting the loos at Woomera Traveller's Village with H and E I overheard a woman exclaiming that "it was the one luxury she couldn't live without!" What was this luxury? "It" was washing her face. Now, I agree that washing your face is mostly an essential part of personal hygiene, but the place we were staying had fully functioning, pleasant ammenities, including showers. If you are bush camping and have very little water and it's 50 degrees in the shade, then face washing may be seen as a luxury, but when you are in a place that has showers, it's really the bare minimum a grown woman should be doing. Both for her own sake and others around her. And that's all I'll say on that matter.
Today we visit the rockets. It's been a long time coming with us being a full day behind schedule, plus getting here too late last night to see anything, let alone explore a rocket park. I'm not sure what we're going to bribe Erin with into staying calm after we've left the rockets. Maybe we'll lie and say there's more rockets in Darwin.

later:
Well we made it to Coober Pedy. It was freezing cold and raining the whole way from Woomera. So much for warm weather in the outback! We're not going to get to see anything here in the underground town because we have to leave at sparrow's for Uluru to try and make it for sunset. Which there won't be because it will be raining. We also won't make it because it's a huge drive and Molly insists on feeding every half an hour. *Sigh*
