13th and 14th days - Broome - 22, 23 Apr 2009
Thursday 22 April :
We are driving the last few KM to Broome in the morning and settled at Palm Grove Holiday Park right in front of Cable Beach
Fantastic tropical temperature, warm ocean, a few little waves that Agnes will happily surf. A swimming pool at the camp. We visit Broome "center"... so tiny. Lots of tourist shops in Chinatown still very nice. Pearls shop and great lunch under the palm trees.
Lots of swimming pool enjoyment and a beach run for B at the end of the day. Cille and Agnes met him at Ganthaum point, 7km further from the lifesaver house where the beach starts. Rocky end point with a light house, red rocks shining at sunset. There are supposedly dinosaurs footprints that we could see at low tide, but we don't find them. Fabulous sunset though!
Friday 24 April:
Our last day with the Britz and in Broome. We are taking off late afternoon so still have a full day in front of us.
Agnes goes running on the beach for an hour while B and C splashes in the swimming pool. B then goes surfing even though the waves are laughable but hey whatever!. Cille and Agnes trek through the dunes to join the B at the beach. We'll then pack up , clean up the van and Agnes will return it to the Britz depot downtown.
Now we are stuck with a pile of luggage at the resort, so more swimming pool and a quick visit for A& C at the Crocodile park. The guy nicely let us visit for free as it's closing and show us the ferocious crocs around. Aggressive beasts fished out of waters just around the corner in the Kinberley's treacherous waters.
We'll take off late and arrive in a fresh Perth enjoying our last light a 4stars hotel in the CBD (Ridges Hotels, really nice)
