Broome

Days 50 to 53

Monday, 23.3.09

We travelled to Broome which was ok but still very hot. Booked into a caravan park and I organised for a new headset for my bike helmet. I can't remember much else about that day.

Day 51
Tuesday, 24.3.09

Today we took in a spring from the camper which needed fixing and left it with a crash repair guy. We did some grocery shopping and just general looking around. Chris bought a fan which is making a difference to the heat.

The temperatures are supposed to get worse as we go further north which is going to make riding very slow and unsafe. I've decided to put the bike on the trailer so we can get through the heat a lot quicker until we get to the East Coast. I think around Townsville I'll get it off again and keep riding. The decision is very disappointing but I think it's the only safe way of travelling at the moment.

Day 52
Wednesday, 25.3. 09

This was a good day. We picked up the spring which was fixed beautifully, did some running around, put the bike on the trailer (emotionally hard), put the camper back on the truck, saw Malcolm Douglas Croc Farm, had tea at Maccas and saw a movie.

The croc farm was terrific! I really loved it and learnt more about crocs. We both got to hold small crocs with their mouths tied as they can still bite your fingers off.


Tea at MacDonalds was a real treat as it was in airconditioned premises as was the movie. We didn't get home until after dark and the temperature was starting to drop a little.
