Broome, Australia.

Some ports are less interesting than others. I think cruise ships stop in these ports to save money. Parking is less expensive.
The ship arrived at 5:00AM, but the shuttles from so called port started at 8:00AM. Walking is not allowed.
We took first shuttle to the town. It was already very hot. Everything was closed, except supermarket. We walked around for a while and then took city sightseeing bus which started running at 9:00 AM to Cable Beach. The bus runs loops, stopping at shopping centre, resorts and beach.
Swimming is not advised due to big waves and jellyfish in the summer.

Cable Beach is a 22 km stretch of white sand beach on the eastern Indian Ocean and the name of the surrounding suburb in Broome, Western Australia. Cable Beach was named after the telegraph cable laid between Broome and Java in 1889.

Very popular is camel 🐪 rides on Cable Beach. We were told that Australia had the biggest wild camels population in the world. We have not seen any. Probably too hot for camels.😅😅

The heat was unbearable and after 30 min, we took another bus back to the shuttle and shuttle back to the ship.Read more
