14-9-09 Off to do the shopping , but first had a look at Cable Beach, beautiful !!!! Such blue water & white sand, we then went into town & went to the info centre to see where we could take the dogs on the beaches. There were a few places & the lady was very nice. We then went & had a look around Chinatown ,& ended up having a cappuccino & scones, jam & cream at a café. We did not see all of it so will go back another day. We went & did our grocery shopping & then onto the Dr’s, & honest we don’t know whether we are Arthur or Martha, The Dr we saw is a locum from Victoria & he seemed not too worried & ordered another blood test to see what his iron level is now , but he was worried about his weight loss, we get the results on Monday next week, & will see what happens then. The other two Dr's thought he should see a specialist , so we don’t know what to do. On Monday if his iron is still up I think we will ask to see a specialist
anyway just to make sure. So will let everyone know when we know more. We picked up the mal as well. We came home & unpacked the groceries & Den made a few calls & then we talked to the neighbours & got tea, I am tired so I went to bed. Awake at 1am - 4am again, driving me crazy.
15-9-09 I slept in till 8.30 , that was nice. We decided to do some sightseeing & take the dogs for a swim , after getting fuel, 99.9 cents for gas & $1.46 for Petrol. We drove around to Town Beach, where Staircase to The Moon viewing takes place. Then down to the Deep water port & Entrance Port where we took the dogs for a long swim & walk around 4 beaches. The colours of the rocks against the sea is just amazing . We then went on a dirt road to Gantheaume Point & the light house, dinosaur footprints & Anastasia’s Pool. All amazing & a photographers dream. We drove on a little further & drove on the beach, there were lots of 4 wheel drives on the beach & a few nudes !!!!! We came
back as the dogs were pooped, had lunch & the girls went to bed & slept all avo. Den defrosted the Waco & I caught up on emails & my diary. The temperature would be 31 deg today but there is a sea breeze reaching us, so a lot more bearable. We decided to go down for a drink at the bar on Cable Beach & watch the sun set over the water. It was really nice. We ended up having fish & chips at the restaurant , nice not to have to cook tea for once. I asked Den if he enjoyed the day in this beautiful setting & was ready to go back to work, He said “you have to be kidding” .We had walked down to the beach, about a 1.5km , so the walk back was good to get the calories off. We got back & took the girls for a walk, watched TV & went to bed . This time I am awake at 4am , so getting better I hope.
16-9-09 Another nice day in paradise, 29 deg today, a bit cloudy & a nice breeze. We decided to go to the beach
& take the girls for a swim & wear them out. We went down to Cable Beach & did some 4 wheel driving on the beach, passing a lot of nude people, fishing, sun baking etc. Cable Beach is well known for it, & no, we did not get nude. We had a swim & Annie found a rock which kept her busy & then we took them for a walk up the beach. We came across guys trying to get a Jet Ski out of the water & had got their car bogged, so Den went back & got & got the Cruiser & he put the snatch strap on & I drove the car out. They were very thankful. We then went back & had lunch & decided to go & see some more of Broome, while the girls had a nap as they were worn out. We went & saw the Old Lockup & Boab Tree , the restored Pearling Luggers & the pearl shop. Found the Roebuck Bay Hotel & we had to have a drink at the pub, very nice. We then went around & had a look at Chinatown & it was a good
afternoon. We came back to the van & we talked to Mick & Maddy & Corey , Val & Hayden. Then talked to Dad & Ivy. It was time to get tea & have a happy hour, watch TV & I caught up on our blog, not sure what we will do tomorrow, will we see what we feel like in the morning. Sad isn’t it.
