Ambassador Perth

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!

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...

Well 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...

On 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...

Our 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...
