Broome

We have been in Broome for 5 days now and have loved it. We have been having such a good time we have forgotten to do the blog!

There are heaps of grey nomads around but also there is a fair share backpackers here too which is a nice refreshing change. The town is very Asian influenced which I was surprised about.

Cable beach is beautiful and the water is so blue. Broome itself is very busy but i guess you expect that in any tourist town. We have spent a fair bit of time on the beach and Jason's even tried his hand at fishing but with no luck. I don't think Broome is famous for its fishing!

The other morning we got up nice and early on one of the windiest days to view the dinosaur footprints. You can only view them at certain low tides.  It took us a while, along with about 50 other people but we finally found them.  That was pretty cool but the boys were more interested in jumping in the puddles and of course Mav was soaking wet by the time we left.
On Monday we went on a camel ride. Jason wasn't so keen to go but we all had a great time (I think I enjoyed it more than any of us!)  
If you drive north on the beach from Cable Beach there is a nudist beach. We saw all the oldies with their bits out! I tell you all the old guys are keen to get their gear off! We found our own slice of beach  and watched the sunset (I will mention we did have our clothes on!) It was magic! Our friends Kim, Trudi and Ziah (we met them along the Gibb) arrived in Broome yesterday so joined us for cheese and crackers and a few wines along the beach. It was a great way to catch up.

Of course we couldnt come to cable beach without going to Zanders restaurant. We had a great night and even came home with a wine glass and coffee mug with Zanders written on it!  It was smuggled out in Kim and Trudi's backpack - shhhh don't tell anyone! (Nanna would have been so proud, haha).

Off to Cape Leveque today....
