We didn’t get much done this morning (after last night’s late arrival) as we had to find more medical attention, this time Justin’s turn. Why can’t pharmacies sell bloody Bactroban over the counter? The doc we saw told me “this is standard outback first aid kit stuff!” Well he took my $80 and poor Justin’s face is healing nicely. Strange that you get “school sores” when you are not in school!
Broome is fantastic. So many friendly people, great caravan park (except the pool closes at 7, just when you want a swim after tea) and the scenery wonderful. The shops are plentiful and open late. The old Chinatown part of Broome is relaxing and interesting to poke around in. We have found some more travelling companions and have done some things together. Tonight (Friday) we went to see the movie “Bran Nue Dae” at the old outdoor theatre. Talk about nostalgia. This place is amazing and has survived since 1916. It was really cool to be seeing this movie here, because it is centered in Broome and some of the film was shot in the actual picture theatre we were sitting in!!
We had the history lesson of the Pearl Luggers today and will be visiting Willie Creek Pearl Farm tomorrow. It is good to have some down time and for the kids to have some friends to play with. Rehydration is becoming a challenge and the fan is our friend. The sweat taps in my forehead run rivers at the slightest exertion and keeping up with clean dry clothing is, well, almost impossible. Some locals say that this is normal, others say that it is very humid for this time of year. When you yawn it is like breathing in a glass of water!
Thanks for the messages and the feedback that you have been sending us by the way. It is nice to know that you are reading and enjoying the blog. I am certainly enjoying writing it. I will try to attach more photos soon.
