With two good weeks since our last stay in civilisation (if you could call being stuck at Gascoyne Junction civilisation), it was time for us to settle down for a few days of being a tourist in a tourist town. In fact we have been travelling reasonably hard since Easter, and it was time for a day or two of rest. We arrived in Broome early in the morning, thankful our roadside camp the night before was only a couple of hours down the road.
We were struck by the warmth and the humidity, and for the first time it felt like we were truly in the tropics. Jo felt at home, and I too was transported back to a younger time in my life. It was a glorious feeling to be back in the balmy weather - kind of like running into an old friend you had lost touch with. We were glad to have chosen to spend a few days here.
Several people we had met on the road didn't have much to say about Broome, which was surprising. It all comes down to what you expect and want to achieve I guess. We booked ourselves into a caravan park with a fantastic pool, and then hit the town!
