It took all day but we did arrive eventually.
I took all day to drive four Google hours from the town of 33 (Treinta y Tres) to Balneario Palenque which happens to be where we spent our first night in Uruguay last April when we drove here from Brazil.
Layne is returning in nine days so Rusty and I have time to burn and I think my elderly dog might enjoy some rest so here we shall stay for a few days.
Something strange happened on our way to the beach, and after several days monitoring the situation I am allowing myself to imagine it might be a good thing. The coolant level has been steady at the proper level for days. The leak seems to have sealed itself. I am of the school of trust but verify so we shall go by Chris’ workshop in Paraguay and have him have a look and if necessary we’ll simply pack our spare parts we had sent to him and install them as needed later. Very odd but very welcome news.
Rusty is doing well even though travel tires him out. I went to bed exhausted too and we slept back to back through a night that wasn’t as cold as it has been lately though I think that’s because more rain is on the way. I’m hoping we’ll get enough solar power to allow us to stay put until the weekend but if not there are campgrounds nearby. This is a very touristy coast, from La Paloma (the dove) to Punta del Este (easternmost point) and I am back in the land of facilities. Time to take care of Rusty and watch the sun set.
