01.07.06 - Great Days in Perth
8am - Woke up to a sunny day!! Exactly what we wanted for a day of sight-seeing!
10am - Arrived at Freemantle. We were all hungry, so we started the day with some fresh seafood at Kailis’ Cafe! The seafood platter Yvanna and I ordered was delicious! One thing bad was that there wasn’t enough mayo, we all only had one packet each…
A short walk brought us to a bustling market selling all kinds of knick knacks. Del bought some tea for her boss, while I browsed around, absorbing the sights and sounds around us. After more shopping, we stopped for coffee and just relaxed under the sun. But it got too hot for us to bear, so we decided to head back to the car. On the way, we took silly photos again and laughed our heads off…
2pm - Arrived at Cottesloe. It was a beautiful place with houses facing the sea and people scattered around taking a stroll or bringing their dogs for walks. The sound of the sea and faint breeze made me wish I am living in one of those houses lining the beach…
3pm - Dropped by Claremont again for more grocery shopping as Yvanna forgot to get some of her toiletries. I took the opportunity to show Del SJP’s haggard looking hands…
4pm - Arrived at King’s Park. It showed a magnificant view of the Perth skyline. if only we were here in the evening, when the lights will be twinkling against the velvet black sky… The view would be breathtaking.
We spent our time at King’s Park taking photos and attempting to lie on the grass but deciding it will be wet and dirty our clothes…
5pm - Arrived at a market in Subiaco. Chose some beautiful flowers for Yvanna’s place and headed back for some home-cooked food.
7pm - Yvanna’s cooking is great! We had rice, chicken and vegetables. I wish I could cook but somehow I’m just not that interested in learning how… She couldn’t find enough bowls so we had to eat vegetables out of a big plastic tub, while watching telly.
Did some packing, relaxed abit and decided we would go for a drink.
11pm - Arrived at Brisbane Hotel. The music was blaring and it looked quite packed outside. But when we walked indoors, there wasn’t as many people around and we could find a table easily. Yvanna had a gin and tonic, while Del and I tried their local beer from Little Creatures.
12am - Back home to bed! Another early day tomorrow as it’s our tour of Swan Valley! We couldn’t remember if we were supposed to be at Burswood by 9:45am or 10:45am but decided it should be the former…
Collection for the day: a pair of earrings and necklace for sis
