So in my post yesterday
{HERE} I briefly mentioned our recent Holiday, the much needed one to relax and forget about the stress we had been under. We needed to get out of the house and just have some fun.
We took advantage of the low-tourist season and some frequent flyer points we had collected, and made a last minute booking.
What better place to unwind and relax than in BROOME.
For those who haven't heard of Broome. It is in Australia's North West Kimberley region. It is a 2 and a half hour flight from Perth. It is an old Pearling town, and now runs a raging tourism trade, for good reason.
I haven't ever been that far North before. I loved the ruggedness, the red clay-like dirt, the vast open plains and the heat, the humidity, it reminds me of the weather in Florida. But, I also loved the resort we stayed in, swimming in the pool, relaxing and reading my two Nicholas Sparks books whilst Ezra napped, and heading to watch the beautiful sunset over gorgeous Cable Beach.
We seriously had the BEST time. It was exactly what we needed.
I want to go back so bad!
Warning: There are lots and lots of pictures to follow!

ReplyDeletesure looks like you had a fantastic time Karen, & what a fabulous place to stay.
ReplyDeleteI have a few friends that live in Broome. We're planning a big trip up there for next year. You've captured the essence of Broome beautifully with your images.

Wow, Cable Beach is stunning! I've never gone over to WA. I've done most of Australia, but so far the west has eluded us. Looks like a lovely holiday. New follower, found you on FB via Holly's page God. I think it was Holly. I've been kind of blog-slutty,lol. Discovering lots of new blogs (new to me).
ReplyDeleteWe had our honeymoon in Broome, I love it. Glad you had a relaxing time :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be a perfect place for a honeymoon!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the shower was one of my favourite things too, so nice on a warm night to take a shower under the stars!
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely stunning. I've been around the world but i've never discovered our north / west yet. I'll get there yet!
ReplyDeleteSome amazing photos there :)
ReplyDeleteI am green with envy. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I went to Broome, but being in Darwin, it looks too much like home to really inspire me to visit.
ReplyDeleteCable beach is so beautiful though.
Glad you had a beautiful time. :)
Thanks Prue, it really was a great holiday. I'm jealous that you are going to do a big trip there, we only had a few days, it went to quick!
ReplyDeleteNice to have you here Melissa!! Thanks for following! I might be biased but I think you would love WA, I mean, whats not to love!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to get there too, I have barely explored WA, I am looking at doing some more, so many treasures right under our noses!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess, unfortunately I forgot my DSLR, so all I had was my Iphone!
ReplyDeleteI am still yet to get to Darwin, I would love to go though. If it is a lot like Broome I think I would like it!!
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could go back, it went to fast!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Broome, why?! It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing holiday, it looks absolutely gorgeous!
