And then

Anyway where was I.  I really didn't get a chance to finish my last post as too much to do here!!  And people to talk to and swims at the beach and coffee in Broome.  Well I booked into the back packers and so much better than being in a hot van.  They let me book in early on Wednesday so had breaky and met two lovely women from Melbourne so chatted to them and organised to go the the open air cinema that night.  I had a look around Broome on Wednesday and checked out the shops and came back to Cable Beach  and had a swim.  Very misty and foggy on the Wednesday.  So much humidity but it wasn't hot and you couldn't see the sun.  That night at the backpackers there was a $10 BBQ.  Burger, sausage, coleslaw and salad and bread and a beer!   Then off to the movies and saw The Sapphires which was fun - it didn't start till 8.45 pm so by the time we got back and had a cuppa I got back to my room late and felt like a naughty schoolgirl and probably woke up my room mates.  I find backpackers so interesting - especially here when there is a huge age range - from 18 - 90 years old  sometimes.    Everyone has a story and is travelling or holidaying or working.  Some people have no fixed abode and are free as birds to work and go where ever.  I got up early on Thursday (after not getting much sleep) and got the bus to Point Gantheume (I am positive that is not how to spell it) and got off there to do the walk back to Cable Beach (about 5 k)  The tide was low and it was beautiful and had my feet in the water most of the time).  That day I caught up with Lucy Payne and we had a bite of lunch together in Broome and a look at the shops.   Back to Cable Beach and more socialising.  I walked to Cable Beach (so many people go done and it is a beautiful thing to do)  to look at the sunset and did Broome Cam (phoned Tom) and then back to cook dinner - I did the brown rice salad.  I had a good sleep last night and slept in till 7.30 am (as everyone in the room this morning).  I have been waking up at 6 am every morning.   I drove some people to the airport and then bought a new card for my camera and then to the beach for a swim.  The water was such a beautiful colour.  I bumped into the girls from Melbourne, Denise and Elizabeth, in the surf  and we organised to meet up at Matsu's  as there is supposed to be a band on this afternoon.  Whale watching tomorrow and then I might stay another night before heading off to see Tom.  
Thank you so much for comments.  It is great to hear what is happening back home and to see who is out there.
