The Arrival of Danni and Camel Riding in Broome

Hello Blogsters... after a lovely cool night, we woke to a wonderful cooked breakfast - bacon and eggs cooked by Dad! Go Dad!

We all had jobs to do this morning - Uncle John got his oil changed and his windscreen drilled (he copped a stone last week which created a crack that spread over part of his windscreen. Dad changed the oil on their car and on Fred. I organised dinner for tonight (lasagna cooked in the dream pot) and Mum did some cooking and organising for tomorrow.

At lunch time we went to pick up Danni - her flight was a little late and the landing a bit rough, but she made it here in one piece. Poor Danni felt a bit like she had landed in another country - hot weather, camels walking up the street and red dirt everywhere.

We did the grocery shopping and then raced home to get ready to go camel riding. We went down the beach and met up with our camels. Danni reckoned our camel had hair just like Rob Marshall's.

After a quick safety talk we climbed aboard and then enjoyed a wonderful walk along the beach as the sun set. Mum and Dad were 2 camels back - they looked quite at ease loping along on "Connor" the camel. Danni and I were on "Wun" - a particularly attractive camel with very long eye-lashes (oh my golly, I really should get a life.... I just called a camel "attractive").

After our ride we went further down the beach and Danni and I went for a quick dip. It was lovely - Danni said, "it's like swimming in warm bath water". Poor Dan, she caught her plane at 6.30 this morning - I reckon she'll sleep tonight!

Paddy is very stushy tonight as he didn't get to go camel riding. Then he was just downright rude at the dinner table - hoeing into the salad before anyone else had a chance - I think I will have to sit him down for a serious talk tomorrow!
Tomorrow we are off to Cape Leveque (and probably out of phone range - so no blog for a few days).

Hi to Kerry - I have your daughter in my clutches now and quite possibly won't give her back!!!!
