Broome, Broome, beautiful Broome. We'd booked to stay here for 6 nights and were due out tomorrow Tuesday 4th but can't bring ourselves to leave so we're staying on until Friday. Even then it will be hard to leave. Cable Beach has white pristine sand, gorgeous clear blue water and is a perfect swimming spot with the water temp. around 29degrees, all only a 10min walk from the caravan park. Every morning around 9am we head to the beach and stay for a couple of hours. Elizabeth is in heaven again collecting sea shells this time. Between swimming at the pool and the beach there's not a lot of the day left to do much else. We squeeze homework in here and there and have strolled around town learning about the pearl luggers the town is famous for. There are heaps of gorgeous jewellery shops around.
On Thursday 29th we went to Roebuck Bay and watched the moon rise above the exposed tidal flats creating 'The Staircase to the Moon'. It was absolutely amazing and beautiful. Unfortunately my camera didn't like the dark night sky and I didn't get one decent photo of it. I'll have to buy a postcard instead. We then wandered over to the night markets and enjoyed some yummy Thai food watching the world world go by around us.
On Saturday (1st May) we went on the Broome Camel Safaris at sunset on Cable Beach. It was fantastic. Just getting on and off the camels was an experience in itself.
It was a beautiful way to watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean on a balmy evening. Emilia and I rode Kashann and Pete and Elizabeth rode Aqaba. They were camels number 5 & 6 in the chain. That's us waiving in the sunset photo's. We got to feed them carrots at the end of the ride. Finished off the night by dining out. Sunday morning I walked down to the beach at 7am to take some photo's. What a gorgeous time of the day.
