so yes it has been a very long time since the last update, but i blame
Pete. I'm not sure why but I'm sure its his fault.

At the moment Pete and I are parked up at a caravan park in Kununnara
enjoying a bit of down time, it has been a very busy two months since we
left.

im not going to bore you all with everything that has happened in the
last 6 weeks but i will try to give you a bit of an overview.

Edith falls was lovely, the lower pool were about 100m from our camp
spot and the top pools about a 2km walk which we did one hot day to cool
of in the rock pools. Teagan (my step daughter) found the lack of tv reception and mobile
coverage hard to take for the five days we were there and it got even
worse when she came to the end of candy crush!!!!!  at this point i have
to say the decision to by satellite tv was made cos i missed my nightly
news, it became like a drug that i needed and i would turn the radio
(the only station we got) on every hour just the make sure the world had
not ended....loll

after this was Kakado and a lovely trip down yellow waters river and
other tourist things. It was also here that Danny, Debbie and Julie (friends from victoria)
joined up with us for the next part of our trip. this was darwin were we
stayed at humpty doo at the back of Friend's (dave and barb) mango shed.
thats right everyone there were boxes and boxes of mangos!!!!!  As most
of you know we were due to go to Bali after a few days in Darwin but
Debbie was non the wiser on the planed overseas trip. Now we love Deb
but I'm still surprised that we managed to get her all the way into the
airport, checked onto the flight bags included (which Teag's and i had
packed without her knowing) and up to the international departure lounge
before we had to say 'by the way were going to Bali'......lol she was
one surprised girl!!!  


Bali was Fantastic and Pete, teag's and i were so excited to meet up
with Stacey and Glenn. The resort was fantastic and the food in and
around Semeyak was so gooooooood. needless to say my favourite thing was
the massages of which we had everyday (and often twice a day). Stacey
and Teagan dragged Pete in for his firs  massage which to his surprise
he enjoyed. the only thing that still scares me a little is that it was
a back, neck, shoulder massage and he took all his clothes off....hmmm
not sure how he thought that massages  was going to end!!!!

Glenn and Stacey took us to some of the most amazing places to eat, BBQ
seafood on the beach and to a place called Potato Head a cross between a
Vagas hotel pool and a five star restaurant would be the best way to
describe it. Overall  much fun was had by all exspesially in the pool
where the girls tried to drown their dad and i fell in love with the
swim up bar and a drink called the spider man - a fruit tingle but
stronger......lol.

At this point we went back to Darwin, spent a great weekend with Dave
and Barb and then teagan left us (sad face) to go to broome before
heading home. This left the five Amgo's were on the road again heading
towards WA and the Gibb River Road in the Kimberleys's. We detoured via
lake Argyle were pete took me on a sunset cruise for my Birthday :)

Now the Gibb River Road - hmmmmm what can i say, it was 1000 km of
shaking the be gee's out of the car, the little red truck casualty list
reads, two smashed driving lights, one missing cb antenna, two large
dents in the roof (pete did not tie the fire wood down) and more dust
than we know what to do with. Having said that the water falls and pools
were fantastic with the helicopter flight over Mitchell falls a real
highlight of the trip. 

The end reward of the 1000km was Broome, what a lovely town in the
middle of no where, the water is a blue that is beyond description and
the beach was a lovely white. As we approached Cable Beach Danny
suggested a drive down the beach as you are allowed to take the cars
right onto the sand, Sounds great we all said. Now this is were is all
went wrong. Some part of me knew off the nudist beach but i was not
prepared (at all) for the sight that i encountered. 

Pete "sylv look at that" so i did!!! oh my god!!!! it was a wrinkly old
leathered man with the biggest "tackle" that i had every seem!!!!! at
this point i think it has been confirmed that i am a prude cos all i
kept thinking was "PUT IT AWAY!!!!!!"  as we drove on pete in his
helpful way kept pointing out all the old naked men and women, although
i think the highlight for him was the naked fisherman.....lol. 

this bring us full circle back to  kunnunara to collect our caravan  and
have a bit of a rest. Danny, Debbie and Julie have now left us for their
track back south. We plan to head to Broome in the next few days and
will stay there for a week (election and footy finals see both pete and
i want to make sure tv will be available)


We miss you all but not enough yet to come home (we have not seen a day
under 30 degrees in over 4 weeks)
