broome beach therapy

We arrived to a busy and bustling Broome in August. The shop car parks were full of travellers vehicles, restaurants were full of grey nomads and the beach was packed. The weather was quite perfect: warm during the day, sunshiney yet cool enough in the evenings to carry a cardigan with you. 

The town has emptied out now, it's lovely and quiet and the 'wet' brings a really different vibe. It also brings with it hot and humid weather and very little 'wet'. Sometimes a brief storm will roll through during the night and rain will fall but by morning it is sunny and dry again - I always feel so ripped off when this happens!! 

So, in this season it is easy to feel just a little cooped up. There's not alot to do but run errands, stay cool in air conditioning, and swim at the fully shaded pool. Sometimes the cabin fever starts to set in. We have realised just how important it is to get out in the afternoons. There is usually a suprpisingly refreshing breeze at the beach (just don't get there too early!) which isn't necessarily present in the early morning. So we go, and walk, and explore and let the cabin fever fall away. It's my therapy! 

Gav is on holidays so we are going to be going on a little break for a few days. We're looking forward to a change of scenery and a pool to swim in, even if we are only going 10 minutes down the road! Then we will spend some time at home getting a few things 'baby ready' and just taking it easy.
