Fremantle Markets

OMG! A Hilton Hotel! Queen Bed ... feather pillows . . .duvet. Only for one night but, now SWAGS are just a distant nightmare :-)

Perth is a very busy city. Accommodations (at least, those in our snack bracket) are fully booked!! The iCentre in Perth was very helpful in finding us accommodations. We're booked into the Pensione …

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.

The weather in Perth was around 38 degrees with no sign of changing so we were more than making up …

When I left you all last (anyone who is following the whole journey) I was in Melbourne and just about to depart for Perth. At that particular moment I had faced an option, pay for my last reasonably priced flight to Perth or somehow determine how to get by with a trip to Adelaide and then somehow use my money to get across to Perth. Typically for …

In Perth angekommen ging es mit dem Shuttle-Bus ins Hostel und zum Glück konnten wir sofort in unsere Zimmer und hielten aufgrund der kurzen Nacht erst einmal ein kleines Nickerchen.

After a lazy start ... in fact to be honest most of my mornings start leisurely ... I'm catching a train with Danny to Fremantle.

It's a sailing day. We're watching. But we get a bit distracted.

We arrive hungry and thirtsy, so it's a trip to the Sail and Anchor for lunch and beer. Danny picks us an Amber Ale and we tuck …

The first day in WA, we both slept until about 4pm as our flight arrived at 1am, so not much was done then. It took me about 3-4days to stop feeling tired and groggy and adjusting to the new time. In this week we have managed to open up bank accounts so its easier for us to access money and not be charged all the time, Charlie has now got an …

Heute standen Fremantle und das Fremantle Prison auf dem Programm. Wow, sowas habe ich noch nie gesehen! Das einzige Gebäude in Western Australia, welches zum Weltkulturerbe gehört. War super interessant! Auf dem 20 Km langen Heimweg habe ich mit dem gemietetem bike die falsche Abzweigung erwischt, was mir schlussendlich diesen wunderschönen …

Me and Steve caught up with Sean at the Pig and Whistle a couple of days after my return from Bunbury. Last time we were here with him he took a shine to Tess the barmaid, and she seemed quite keen on him too, so here we were at the bar chatting away. I'm not sure if Tess thought Sean was a show off or what? But she seemed to have lost interest by …
