Broome

I did so much walking today that I now have blisters.

I got to the Toyota dealership at 7.30am this morning and dropped the van off for its service then walked about a kilometre to the vet where I had booked Oscar in to have his annual immunisations.  All was well until the vet looked into Oscar's mouth and found that his gums were swollen and infected because his teeth were badly in need of a clean.   Next thing he was being prepped so that his teeth could be cleaned under general anaesthetic and I was told to return in the afternoon.

I spent the next few hours walking, walking and more walking.  I think I know the inside of every shop in Broome.  It is very touristy and very expensive.  The only money I spent was on my breakfast - a chocolate milkshake and a yummy pizza rope from Brumbys which I ate whilst sitting on a seat in the main street.  I was tempted to go for a scenic drive on the back of a trike (a motorbike with three wheels).   It looked like lots of fun, but it was a $100, and knowing that Oscar's vet bill and the van service was going to put a serious dent in my finances I decided to give it a miss.

The weather has been much better the last couple of days.  The humidity has dropped which makes it a lot easier to sleep at night.  Tomorrow I think I will head down to Cable beach and have a wander around, maybe buy some fish and chips and sit on the sea wall and watch the comings and goings.  On Sunday I will be busy with my super paperwork and on Monday I will be heading off again.  Where to?  I've yet to decide.  I will make that decision when I get behind the wheel on Monday morning.
