We started on our drive again and once again left phone service for the next 7 hrs 36 mins. We stopped a few times on the way to fill up [as there are not many stops along the Stuart Highway] and finally checked into our Coober Pedy hotel after 19:30 [we lost an hour in between the Northern Territory and South Australian border due to Daylight savings].
We had a beautiful dinner in the hotel that night and a good night sleep. The next morning we did some touring before we started back home to Adelaide.
Coober Pedy is a creepy little mining town. We say creepy because the residents live underground.. in spots we saw cars but no houses ... I guess it is creepy because it is not something that we are used to seeing. Every minute I was expecting someone to come out at us with a cleaver!!! There were wrecked cars everywhere, garbage everywhere and in one of the parking lots there was an old spaceship [we Google it and we think it might have been from the movie: Pitch Black].
Coober Pedy is famous for its Opal mining. We did visit an Opal store and the stones were quite beautiful.
