4:30 - hot afternoon - middle of nowhere...
Timor may not be able to fix this one; he is putting his tools away. Got help from a trucker that stopped, but they were not able to get it going again. Cellphones work here and the call has gone out to find another car. We get back aboard and try limping along. No, this is not going to get us anywhere - maybe it's the fuel pump and Timor has no replacement. We have water, tea and snacks to ease the five hour wait until a new car and driver arrives and we are forced to say our goodbyes to Timor who will stay with his car until his son beings parts tomorrow. Very sad to see him by his car as we wave goodbye - it is like family.
Then three more hour drive and we arrive at our ger camp at 11:30. We had asked to stay at this camp because there is something special to see here tomorrow morning.
