Broome Holidays (day seven)

Wednesday 30 June

Claude Birthday

First rainy day

After breakfast (croissants) we went and did

a bit of shopping....

for Claude birthday present I got him those

lovely pearls

Gantheaume point

the only remaining structure of

the light house keeper cottage

Beautiful blue sea
you can see the grey sky.
We had few showers on and off all day.
But it did not stop us as it is the last full day
of our holidays.

Anastasia's pool
is a small man-made pool built by the
former lighthouse keeper for his arthritic wife.
the tide fill the pool and the sun warm the water.
His wife found relief bathing in it.

the pool is on this ledge

At low tide, below Anastasia pool there is

dinosaur prints in the rock.

we could not see them today.

we went for a drive in the beautiful red roads

Broome jetty

we were told of the "crystal Buddha"

well it turn out it was marble!

Birthday boy.

This morning we went to look at possibilities

for diner. We narrow it to 3 restaurants

BUT what we did not take in consideration

was the rain....

Broome restaurants has few sittings inside

and the rest is outside.

Everywhere was full when we got there

we even drop at the Zoo cafe and they

suggested we try the ZEE bar across the

road.

After all the running around we gave up and

went to the Zee bar.

It was full of tourist like us having nowhere to eat.

We had to eat sitting on a banquette and

eating on a coffee table.

The food was fabulous, nice steaks

We were having a glass of Shiraz when we

remember it was Claude Birthday so

we started on a champagne.

We were drank, we had to have coffee and Claude had

a nice piece of cake.

What started at a disaster of an evening

end up as a very good, memorable day.

We really had a good time.
