Good times in Broome

Hi all- having a lovely time here in Broome with Dad. The weather is hot and sunny, but luckily cools off at night.
The night before last we watched the "staircase to the moon" again- it was even better than the night before, and coincided with the closing celebrations for the town's Pearl Festival. As a result just before the moon rose there was a fantastic fireworks display. Then when it was just about time for the moon to appear there was indigenous singing...deep and moody, to the sound of a didgeridoo- quite haunting, mystical music- it was almost as if it was an ancient chant, calling the moon up. When the moon did sneak above the horizon, a deep red colour, it was quite a sight.
Yesterday we rose very early to walk a long way out onto the mud flats at a very low tide to see wrecks of WW2 flying boats, which were bombed by the Japanese while they were anchored in the bay.
It was then off to the beach, before we went into town for a lovely lunch and a look around. There are so many pearl galleries!
We had a relaxing night in, as we all felt tired at the end of the day (having been pretty busy since Dad got here).

Today we were up early again- once again to catch the low tide. There is a place just off the coast south of here where you can see dinosaur footprints, believed to be 300-million years old! You can only see them on very low tides though- so we all climbed out over rocks and mud and did see the footprints, embedded deep in the rock. Amazing when you think about when they were left!
We then went to the beach, before having lunch in a little cafe at Cable Beach. It's now afternoon siesta time for Dad and Adam, and a bit of relax time for me too.
Tomorrow will also be a relaxing day- Adam and Dad are really enjoying playing guitar together again too.

All the best to everyone...
Love Emma and Adam xoxo
