    After saying our goodbyes and a big thank you to Alan, Wendy, Jacky and Graham, we got our flight to Broome, feeling very lucky to have such lovely and generous family the other side of the world.
    We arrived just after lunch and caught a taxi to our holiday camp.
    We'd arranged to meet Alan and Wendy's daughter Rebecca, her husband Mitch and their little girl Sadie that afternoon for an ice cream and a play in the water park.
    The next day Rosie rode her bike and we walked to the library for their toddler music session that Rebecca and Sadie were going to. Rosie and Poppy were very happy to see Sadie again and have a play. Although it was only 30mins away we broke up the ride with a cafe one way and the museum on the way back as it was pretty hot! Had a swim in the afternoon to cool down.
    We picked up the 4x4 the next day. All of us were pretty excited to get it back to the campsite and set it all up. Rosie helped with almost everything! It looked great, and once we'd decanted our stuff into different bits of storage, thankfully it did all fit! Got paella from the campsite for dinner and all had an early night. Poppy has been very sleepy all day and had a temperature overnight, but I'm glad to say she woke up feeling much better in the morning.
    Rosie slept in the roof tent with Matt and Poppy and I cuddled up in the ground tent. Not the most comfortable night's sleep ever, but I'm sure we'll get used to it. And it was worth it to watch the bats and stars before bed.
