Last night, we all made the commitment to get NT 2022, WA 2021 and UK 2019 tattooed on our backsides…in Donna’s dream. Donna even knew what each of us were wearing and asked for a discount to get TAS 2023 done as well.

Much to our dismay, Mark received a phone call cancelling our Horizontal Falls trip, ‘Not enough staff’. We think it is more to do with the incident in May. We are all bitterly disappointed and trying to find something to replace it.

Before packing up, we went for a final walk .

We drove the quick trip to the airport where Mark managed to drive up every one way street the wrong way…in the world’s smallest airport. We parked the car and unpacked to be asked whether we had re-filled it. Short answer: NO!

The boys dumped us and the luggage and headed back to town to fill up. Lucky, I am with early birds!

Flight to Broome was quick and uneventful. We were picked up by the courtesy bus and on arrival, immediately headed to Cable Beach. The water looked divine and lots of people were swimming.

We went to Zanders and had cocktails, beer and seafood.

Wayne was struggling with hay fever so we returned to the resort. While he was having a rest, Donna went for a swim and Mark did some research. Results: not much open on a Sunday.

In the end, Donna, Mark and I caught a bus to Divers where for the first time in a long time, we had to wait for the bouncer to let us enter the premises. We found a table with one chair but had trouble getting another two. Mark got our first drinks all right but after that I had to wait ages for the next round (someone had ordered 9 Expresso Martinis) and Donna had to wait ages to order food. We then had to wait for the taxi we ordered to return to our abode.
