Day 26

Day 26 Sunday 13 May
Another day in paradise, warm night and an excellent morning. Didn’t know what the overnight temp was but pretty warm! Today is supposed to get 36 Deg. !! Might have to give the aircon in the car , a big workout today!!!

Left park by 0815, After having locked ourselves out@##$%. Ricks boy Wes, got in through the top flywire so only locked out for 5 minutes, thank god!!!
Off on the dirt road 10 Klms to get back to the highway. The van has changed from white to red!!! 50 klms up the road stop for Breakfast at the Sandfire roadhouse. Which had burnt down 2 weeks before but they were still serving petrol and diesel but no LPG. I did a quick fire investigation and came up with an electrical fault!!!!!! Funny thing was that Rick was out of smokes and drove the 50 Klms to Sandfire only to find that it had burnt down. But luck for him they had one pack left!!!!

Back on the road, it just seems to go on forever!! Stopped for another coffee 2 hours later, couldn’t convince Brenda to pee behind van “ no thanks I’ll hold on”.
Got my first road kill for the entire trip, a Goanna was waddling across the road , if he kept the same pace, I would have missed it , but no it decided to speed up! The car missed it but the van did the job!!! 5 minutes later swerved to miss a Roo but the Van once again got it . I hit it with the stabiliser. Blood and guts now needs to be washed off the van!!!! YUK! (No damage to van)

Finally got into Broome, booked in decided to stay 2 more nights here( the boss has spoken)!! But we have to move sites on Saturday, as the site we are on is already booked.
Of course there are shops here and we had to go and do the rounds. But we found Macca’s so I can do the internet thing from there tomorrow.
Off to see one of Broome’s renown sunset . It didn’t disappoint, spectacular is the only way to describe it!!
You have to be here for this event, as the whole Beach and foreshore get packed with people, their chairs, drinks, and dips this all happens just before sunset. 5 minutes after sunset it’s empty!!!!

Had a great dinner tonight, Fresh fish ( Threadfin salmon caught at eighty mile beach) and salad . Of course the usual lubrication to make it slide down better!!! The girls were on the Champers!!!! Happy hour or two complete, so off to bed.
What great joys will tomorrow bring?
Let me tell you it all sounds so easy , but it’s tough out here!!!!!!!!!!!
