196 Adelaide Terrace Perth, Western Australia, Australia, 8-9325-1455
Arrived last night about 12:40. Hubby's plane was late so we didn't get to our hotel until 3:30 a.m. Now we are up and almost ready to go out and see something. Doesn't matter what we do, what we see. Traveling with my honey again for a month. Yea!
Perth, Western Australia, Australia carpefeline Got a late start today since we didn't get to bed until after 3:30 a.m. Tried to figure out the bus system but ended up just hoping on a bus and as soon as it got close to something, we hoped off. It dropped us at the entrance to King's Park which is a large park overlooking the Swan River and the different sections of Perth, the major part and South Perth on the opposite bank. Right now the buses are free. Pretty nice to just hop on and go.
So into the park and we walked past some of t...
One nice thing about being an expat is you eventually end up with friends in strange places all over the world. My trip this time has managed to miss most of them but we do have some friends here in Perth. Today we will get to wander over their way and pay a visit. We haven't seen them in probably 5 or 6 years. Things have changed. New wife, new job location, and probably more new things as well. Will be wonderful to touch base and catch up in person. My hubby is good but he always forgets t...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia carpefelineWell its still sweltering here but its a nice dry heat. Adelaide is in the middle of its longest heatwave since March 1934, loving it. Had an amazing week, Adelaide is like a big country town. This week we have been to an Adelaide Fringe festival comedy show (you shouldve seen me cringeing next to my mum as a comic was telling thumb & bum jokes!!) which was very funny, also went to Cleland wildlife park yesterday & hand fed Kangaroos & Wallabies but its not all perfect, we were cr...
Adelaide, Australia jamie.kinnearOn the next flight I ended up sitting next to a group of people who will be in my tour group for the next 3 weeks. Not all of them are going to New Zealand and some of them had a couple of days in Singapore. They were quite easy to spot because they had recovered from their jet lag days ago, whereas me and some of the people around me looked and felt like the day of the living dead. Again they looked older than me, I think I could be the groups younger generation. The person sitting right nex...
Perth, Australia robhandleyOur Disney parks experience had ended but we still had a day of [normal] Tokyo ahead of us and were still staying at the Resort. To quick our last day off we woke late and went downstairs to Chef Mickey at the Ambassador Hotel. As predicted this buffet restaurant was similar to the one of the same name found at Hong Kong Disneyland's Hollywood Hotel but unpredictably there was a 20 minute queue to get a seat! Since we had decided we wanted to try out this breakfast and we needed to eat just o...

Today we moved over to the Karrinyup Waters Resort. This one is nearer the sea at Gwelup and we have a good big site very close to the amenities which are very cute – individual little bathrooms. Haven't seen any as good as this!
So more about Perth over the next few weeks!

... National Park before going to Kirsten's Aunt and Uncles house for dinner - I was surrogate daughter for the day!!! The next day I was booked on a 4 day tour up the coast in WA so bid farewell to Kirsten's parents and set off backpacking once more. It was a fab tour and took us to lots of cool places. First of all we went to the Pinnacles which is an area filled with funny shaped rock formations. We then went further up the coast and stopped at a beautiful beach ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia helsh... are there like all day every day running up these stairs and back down to get a workout. I went up it once while there, though no more since I was wearing flip flops. Though guaranteed I will be back for a hardcore workout later this week! As far as going out is concerned it's difficult with my lack of money and the fact that our uni is about a $25 cab ride from the city and the clubs. I've still made it out though. A friend of mine rented a bus for his ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia kkherbst... to hassle the electricians when they are working on an isolation. The TA went up to an electrician and asked him why it was taking so long. I'm assuming the electrician told him to politely get lost, because the TA stormed back to the lunch room and took off down the road. He somehow managed to get past the security gatehouse and headed off back to camp. This would have to be a nice 18km stroll in the middle of the day for our TA to ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia cop12Woke up naturally at 7 am after only 4 hours of sleep. So I think I have fully time adjusted. Time to explore the city. Went on some major walks. Actually about 24 miles in total distance. Photos on this entry are miscellaneous ones along the Swan River and some buildings in the city.
Perth, Western Australia, Australia nahury1... in hot temperatures before in Africa up to around 40 degrees but 44 was something else. Unless you had air conditioning you would just sit there and sweat. That day I was invited to a Barbie by a guy who run a volleyball club in Perth, luckily he had air conditioning. After a week of living in the backpackers I moved into a house with 3 other people, two of which were a couple from Singapore and the other guy was from Singapore as well. It was ...
