Oaks Broom

Flying in & out of Broome last two weeks. This week I got to stay in Broome after spending a day in Derby on a day trip by charter flight from Broome. BAS (Broome Air services) really put in the xtra mile to get us a plane & the pilot stayed with us all day in Derby. When we got back to Broome we stayed at the Oaks. Free parking. Run to lobby. Out of the heat into 3 minute check in at the lobby. Then into already airconditioned room with a fan on too. Chilled beer & wine glasses in the fridge. Drove to Woolworths store 10 minutes away. Got some refreshments and munchies. Then back into the airconditioning to watch a movie on the 5 or 6 available complementary movie channels. Then got up in the morning to swin in the lukewarm frehwater pool. Managed to swim 1km of 40 laps in a 25 meter pool over 40mins. heavenly bliss for the start of a hot day There was a toaster in the room to make toast for high carbs breakfast after the swim. Also fancy new temperature controlled kettle that you could use to boil hot water to poach eggs if you wanted. Literally a 1 minute check out. Then we went to Broome community town & later saw Tanya Ransom the local Broome songstress with a group of her friends. Should have asked for an autograph....... http://www.tanyaransommusic.com.au/ Worth a visit? Wifi was initially fast. Then kinda died on the phone but was ok on laptop.
