We enjoyed a good nights entertainment on Friday night at an event put on by the local aboriginal people. Called a "Taste of Broome" it was a showcase of local music, crafts & food. Tried some yummy Japanese curry, Indonesian satays & super yummy Fillipino cassava cake. While the cake is gluten free, calorie free it ain't.
I looked for a recipe on line & discovered both the cake & topping have carnation, condensed & coconut milk. No wonder it was so good!
Opting for the $20.00 tickets we took our own chair & sat behind the VIP section & thoroughly enjoyed the slide & films projected behind the band & singers on stage. The songs & slides started with interesting footage of the old pearling days through to when WWII came to Broome & finishing with clips from the movie Bran Nue Day. It was a family night of good old fashioned entertainment.
8th July was a very important day for me & and a celebration was called for. What better way than champagne on the beach & a camel ride at sunset.
Kelsie, Sara & Sophie gave us the ride as a Christmas gift so while we took our time getting here to use the voucher it worked out well to combine a Christmas & Birthday treat.
Hello to our camel Mustva & all looks easy until.... you try to throw a leg over the camel. My leg got stuck on top needing some help to drag it down & Tones groins seized up. While we were riding along he said he hoped I had camel riding out of my system.
Anyway we survived the rocky ascension from sitting to upright while our camel made lots of groaning noises which apparently had nothing to do with us it's just his thing.
It's a long way down once you're up
Attractive eyelashes, unattractive teeth!
Sun gradually set as we rocked & rolled along with only an occasional moan from Tone and none from Mustava.
One very tired camel at the end of a long day carrying tourists up & down.
"Take me home will you, I want to go home"
So what a way to spend a birthday - not complaining at all!
