Broome Last day!!


Our hired comfort for  4 hours





Last day in beautiful sunny Broome. We got up really early because we all had a great nights sleep, pancake morning for breakfast and then down the beach by 9am, now that’s a first for us. We decided to splurge on ourselves and hire a sun lover’s package at the beach, which are 2 sun lounges and a beach umbrella. It was terrific because I’m not a huge fan of sand everywhere and to lie back in a sun lounge was great. Lily dug and made sand castles under the beach umbrella and the boys were actually hesitant today to go into water as there were literally hundreds of jelly fish, not the bad ones that sting you but just these huge dark blobs floating and were washed aground. The boys joined Lily instead and made castles. It was hot so they braved the jellyfish for a dip in the water. OH NO, THEY BOTH COME OUT AND THEY ARE ITCHING LIKE CRAZY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE SMALL MOSIE BITES. I went down to the first aid tent which was the lifeguard also and he said just wash off the salt water it should feel better soon. Mark got it too, but put on the brave face and said it’s not that bad. It looked bad to me, with bites on their tummy and legs. Having a quick doze in the sun was just so relaxing and just people watching at the beach is a lot of fun. We had the sun lounges and umbrella for 4 hours so we were making sure we used up the time, we did and went back for lunch. Now for an afternoon or maybe just a few hours at the pool, and I did some washing. I have found these washing machines the best out of the whole trip they actually wash the clothes, well they look clean anyway.  Mark did last minute food shop, gas fill and petrol fill, ready for the drive off tomorrow. Having Chris and Colin next door has been lovely as we decided tonight to go driving down on the beach and watch the sun go down, and to top it off, Chris brings out the champagne to toast our chance meeting. It was so busy on the beach there were cars everywhere, had to say to Lily watch out for cars, and that’s funny when she’s only playing on the beach. The sun went right down and we waited for the pink sky and all cars had disappeared. Better go and get dinner so we make our way back. Another day over, and we head to Eighty Mile beach tomorrow should only be a 3.5-hour trip.
