We both slept well last night despite the heat which continues unabated. Today the thermometer has reached 35 degrees and tomorrow here in Broome it is forecasted to be 37 degrees however we will be gone, possible to even hotter places.
We spent
the morning doing a few last minute chores in town, refueling yet again,
stocking up on provisions (again), buying a copy of a wonderful DVD we had
watched in the Big Foot yesterday about birds of the Kimberley, and doing
laundry. A few business matters had to be attended to by email and long overdue
correspondence with my youngest sister who has just a few days ago gained her
eighth grandchild which gave a good excuse for catching up.
The
telephone rang, a very unusual occurrence; a call from the man from National
Warranty Company who sends and receives emails from us about our discontent. At
this moment in time, the ball is back in their court and they are going back to
discuss technical matters with the man who reconditioned our fuel pump in
Sydney. I suspect this is so they can meet our counter demand or at least come
closer, and not lose face in a turnabout.
The matter is in no way at an end; we fight on!
We will
leave here without having watched the sunset over Cable Beach, without having
watched the moon rise over Roebuck Bay and without having taken a camel ride
along the golden sands of Cable Beach, one of those iconic tourist must-dos.
But I have swum with the sharks and seen the sun rise over the pindan!
