Last days in Broom (June 2015)

After we say goodbye to Pieter and Els, Broome has one more treat in store for us. The Staircase to the Moon. In certain months, once a month a full moon rises over a very low tide and creates reflections over the mudflats resembling a staircase…to the moon.

There is a staircase to the moon market and the atmosphere is great. It’s exciting to watch the moon rise out of the water and climb up into the sky. Even though we know it’s quite pointless to try and catch this on film, we both try with our iPhones and my camera to make a stunning photo but, as expected, not very successfully. We go two nights in a row.

 Also we try the local pool for some swimming lessons, the water is absolutely delightfully warm. No wonder with such a tropical climate.
