In the spirit of leaning into Broome-time we take a long time to start the day, mostly taken up with a long slow morning pool-side at the caravan park. There’s a couple doing yoga together and a man doing push-ups. We just find a deck chair and quietly read in the cool morning air. Then we begin to cycle between swimming and drying…very hard work this!

There’s a fancy restaurant just down the road where we head for lunch, the Sydney Cove Oyster Bar. I’m confused about why it seems busy, when people start saying, “Father’s Day!” as they sit down at tables around us. Oh right, I guess I should call dad!

It’s great being on the coast, the fresh ocean air feels like home. And eating this seafood reinforces that feeling more than ever. 

Controversially we head to a coastal bar instead of the SLSC for sunset today. The different view and a cocktail are good, but it kind of reinforces the surf club’s supremacy. A sunset over water and palm trees is pretty spectacular though!
