We hit the road again !

It was a wonderful break in Broome and we look forward to that time in the future when we will return, however, as we all must move forward in life – it seems especially so when on a traveling holiday. So with heavy hearts we bade farewell to Alan at the airport (who now heads off to Darwin and the trip home in the lap of luxury on the Ghan) whilst we drop all of our comforts and hit the bumpy 200km road to Cape Leveque.Well, the road was no where near as bad as we saw on the way to Tunnel Creek as it was mostly sand and corrugations (no rocks). In the middle of nowhere we came across a well made gravel road and then (like a gift from the heavens) a sealed road ! – Rejoicing, we went to Beagle Bay to pay homage at the local church which is completely adorned with Mother of Pearl Shells.The girls were so inspired they both gave us a short sermon before we headed back on the road to the Cape (needless to say it got rough again).Upon arriving we realized that we have reached paradise (details in the next few Blogs). Settling in and a significant snorkeling expedition by Dad and the Girls was the order of the day.Followed of course by (the now Mandatory) tire change. Dad’s first try at pulling apart a split rim was quite successful – this flat was due to rusty rims and low tire pressure – so it continues.
Quote of the day (from Alan) – Don’t hang around to wave goodbye – I’ll just wave at a window and using the reflection I’ll create an Optical Conclusion…….
