Cottesloe Beach Perth

Encore un temps merveilleux, pas de quoi envier Sydney qui est toujours sous la pluie...La nuit n'as pas été super, malade, 10 sonneries de réveil par les autres de la chambre, il arrive un âge ou le backpackers devient légèrement insupportable je pense. Malgré tout au matin ça allait un peu mieux, 2 Dafalgan et hop reparti en ville pour visiter le …

On arrival in Perth we checked into our apartments in the city, Mountway Holiday Apartments, they were very basic and could do with a bit of an upgrade but they were in a good location and clean so couldn't complain.

Day one - Beach Day

Hello people and a very Happy Ester to you all from sunny Australia!

There's been a few goings on this week...

Monday I went for my interview (feels so long ago now) got there nice and early and I felt a bit cheated as I had done my homework on the company and prepared questions about me too and again it was just a casual chat …

As you're probably aware by now Im not very keen on Skype and Ive never really been a telephone person either, so I have been doing my best to keep everyone up to date on here instead, I like writing and I much prefer it, so I am really sorry to all that want to chat on Skype, I would love to but its really not my thing... Ive pretty much chilled …

Stayed in Nedlands, which is just outside of Perth …

Last Wednesday, I got a call from my colleague Adam telling me to book flights to Perth for 3 days of interviews for one of our current projects. Eyebrows raised, I said "Really?"
"Yes, really," he said.
"OK, here goes nothing," I thought.

Three days, 2 flights totaling 15 hours of travel time and one ETA visa later, I found …

We have been to a few more places and done some different things over the last couple of weeks. Charlie has had a couple days of work and hopefully some more lined up before we go over to Sydney, so I had a a nice peaceful time haha.
On November 24th we were invited to Ascot to the horse racing which was so much fun. I have never felt so …

Today was a great day. No matter how well we plan, we always seem exhausted after Ben's Birthday which is December 26^th. Today we woke up and most of us exercised. I had my first run with my sister and that is always fun. It makes the run fly by because even though we get to see each other a fair amount, the kids usually do not give her …

Wow! The mining boom has really sky rocketed rices in Perth. Been here a few times before, but the cost of anything makes Sydney seem cheap!

I go t Cottesloe Beach every time I go to Perth so it goes without saying it is a must do. Especially t sunset where you can see the sun set over the sea.

I also di the Escapes tour at …

Wow! Lots has happened since my last post. I would compare it to riding in an elevator; I started on the ground level and am slowing working my way up. Each floor has a different theme, new people, and fun experiences. Let me share some stories with you.

On Wednesday, February 6th after my last entry I went on a tour of the village I am …
