Broometime
Hello.
We're still in Broome and have settled into the caravan park ready for the christmas season. It's pretty quiet here. Broome is one of the last towns that has the wet season and we've watched several massive storms build up around us and then pass us by.
A couple of evenings ago the rains did come though and the tent survived a very good test. The winds were strong and the rain was torrential, something like 2 inches in 2 hours. Unlike most people in vans on the park it seems, we stayed dry!
When it's not raining, the weather's pretty much in the high 30s from the time the sun comes up to the time it sets over cable beach. It doesn't seem right that you can get sunburnt at 8.30 in the morning but that's the way it is here.
Other than that we don't have much to report. Brett's got himself a bit of work because he's bored so we've been lounging around the park in the daytime and having a few beers at night. Last night we had more than a few. Well, it is the weekend!
We still don't know what we'll be doing for christmas but we're pretty sure it won't be what most of you are doing. There's a good chance it'll involved the three Bs: beach, beer and barbecue.
And now, some pics.
One thing we might not have mentioned about our travels is that we've learnt how to cook properly (and cheaply too!):
A little Christmas treat (on special offer, naturally):
A bit of Broome's coastline with Cable beach in the background.

Why thank you brother, (although I noticed there is a typo on my age. I am actually in my very, very late 20's). Are you doing the camel ride on Cable Beach? And are you waiting until the cricket has finished before heading down to Perth? P.S Im really looking forward to eating your Xmas lunch.

Good idea, might do the camel ride tonight. They'll probably stop soon for the wet season.
We've been kept well informed of the cricket score from most of the Aussies. Do they still play the last games/matches/whatever they are even though we've been humiliated?

Looks nice and warm out there. Had to scrape the ice off of my car this morning before I went to the office. I highlighted these words just incase you didn't recognise them..

by the looks of the back of your Joe Mangle "Yut", it looks like your auditioning for an episode of Ready Steady Cook...what did you manage to cook with a Green pepper, tomato and can of coca-cola??!! Is your Yut like a scene from the A-team, where they went in a shed and came out with a Tank.
Anyway..have a good xmas & new year from zoe, me and mum & dad.
