We’ve been on the road for over two months. We’ve travelled something over twelve thousand kilometres, much of it on dirt roads. We’ve experienced some damage to Vin rouge but nothing so far that has caused us any real difficulties. However, Mike has developed some back problems and we’re feeling a little travel weary.
The answer is to take a couple of days out and check into a decent hotel. This we’ve done in Broome, at the Kimberley Sands. Ah joy, a real bed, air conditioning, swimming pools, even a personal one just outside the door, and a bus stop a few steps away.
Our most stressful activity has been to take the 20 minute walk to Cable Beach each evening to watch the sun go down over the Indian Ocean. Of course, doing this over a drink and something to eat. Sheer bliss. And the sunsets have been pretty good too.
We did take another look at how oysters and their pearls were once collected. It wasn’t easy.
But basically we’ve been taking it easy and enjoying the sea views.
Tomorrow it’s back to reality, goodbye to a real bed, hello to the roof top tent and back to travelling. I guess we’re secretly looking forward to it.
