Well our boy got his wish and we have woken up in Broome on his 8th Birthday! After a bit of present giving (he received among other things...a flat cap, penny board skateboard and some money to buy a didgeridoo). After a breaky of croissants and nutella we enjoyed an early dip in the pool.
With his birthday money burning a hole in his pocket we had to head into town fast and do some serious didge shopping! We found one in a mercifully short time and could move on to lunch! We all enjoyed a really delicious Thai meal (I promise it was what the birthday boy requested).
Next stop was Cable Beach to get ready for our sunset camel ride. We drove our car right down onto the sand and left it there.
Camel ride was a funny experience, they do smell pretty bad and the one behind me kept snorting on my leg. Ella and I were on a feisty female called “Indi” and the boys were on a grumpy old male called “Horace”. We were amazed at how many people were parked on the beach, watching the sunset and taking photos of the camel riders (there are 3 companies that do it at the same time and same stretch of beach).
Back at camp we finished the day with some cheesecake (thanks Sara Lee) and it’s been a big day for one happy camper! Thanks to everyone for all their birthday wishes, he is a very lucky boy!
