Sunday 16th June 2013 – Broome

Walked to Cable Beach this morning before breakfast.  Noticed that the Sunset Bar and Grill is already buzzing.  As we were walking back to the caravan park we were passed by a group of camels presumably on their way to the beach (and another group a bit later at the caravan park).

After breakfast (sardines on toast – we have managed to use up most of our food other than cans so will need to do a restock before heading for Cape Leveque) it was back to the Sunday market while we waited to book in for our two nights at Mercure.  Went up at 11 but our rooms were not ready yet so dropped the camper off in the car park and went back to the market for lunch – fish cakes and chicken kebabs again followed by an ice coffee.

Booked into the Mercure, went for a swim, caught up with the other side of Australia through Skype and rested until dinner time where we went to a Thai Restaurant for dinner.  We were in a bit of a hurry as we were off to the pictures tonight.  The waitress advised that pad Thai would be pretty quick so that’s what we ordered.  It came with a cute egg net over the top.

Sun Pictures is apparently the oldest outdoor cinema in the world still operating (constructed in 1916).  We sat in deck chairs naturally and watched The Great Gatsby.  Was a great experience but the movie was a bit weird.  Was particularly interesting when a couple of plains flew low overhead to land at the nearby airport.
