sunshine

Landed in Broome after a long journey on the plane....didnt realise how far it is! Had to sit next to the biggest beer swilling bogan who wanted to chat every 5 mins about the desert below. Got the bike here in one peace. Hit the road this morning for a 1.5 hr get to know the place ride. Not to many choices for direction of travel. North or South on the main highway. Met the first of many road trains....bigger than texas in size. Did a smaller loop around town and ran into a local who rides a nice C50 colnago. He has invited me to a morning bunch ride Sat morning a 6am. See how I go but should be a bit of fun doing the locals version of the Hell Ride (6 blokes in total I'm told).
Been checking out the sites today. Nice laid back type of place.....everyone is easy going. Went to the beach last night to check out the rising moon...its called steps to heaven as the moon reflects off the mudflats at low tide. Thousands of people to were there to check it out. It was cool I must admit...big blood red moon...very nice!
Off to have a soak in the pool now....ciao


Check out the road train!
