The last fog lifted as I took off early morning. Broome is a 36k (one way) detour off the highway but I had decided to go anyway. I had heard it was nice, I needed to stock up and maybe I could couchsurf for a few days recuperating before the last 2,000k to Darwin (I didn't know if anybody had accepted my request as I didn't have internet or phone reception since South Hedland)...
