Quest West End Perth

... 12midnight & was so proud of myself for not getting too drunk & saving myself for the BBQ & free booze on Xmas day. But alas i didn't even get up the 1st flight of stairs when some other friend were just heading into town, so off i went with them to Northridge & partied till 4am! I ate plenty of the BBQ, but didn't drink too much alcohol. Between Xmas & New Year i went to Cottesloe beach & explored the city of Perth. On New Years Eve, Bex ...

... Beach to meet friends.  They go down most Sundays to while away a couple of hours and it was very pleasant as the weather was fantastic.  Really warm and sunny.  There were loads of people out and about.

Then Steve and I went to see Deb and Matt, friends of Graham and Clare.  They took us to Hillary wharf where there were loads of shops on the marina and we had a lovely lunch.

So a very social day and what we saw of Perth was fabulous.

... 8220; a mate” somewhere in what seemed to be every part of the world, in some strategically vital role in the defence of whichever country, ending with the delaration that not only was he himself a member, but had “a mate” who was very high up in the UKIP hierarchy. Sara was conveniently able to turn her head and pretend to look out of the window, whilst I feigned politeness, making what I thought at the time were witty ...

... I woke up the next day at Fiona's I had a sore throat. Meh I thought. Spent most of Sunday in bed!
Monday- crawled out of bed and went to work. Then got told I had no more hours that week. Uhm- 6 hours of work does not pay the rent thank you very much. I was not impressed but felt too rough to argue. felt better after a very strong curry at Old Shanghai- this is now mine, Laura and Kelse's Monday night routine it would appear. Well, when I'm back in Perth! Tuesday the sun ...

... also meant that we didn't have to take wood home. After we ran out of wood and went to bed, the rain started again and continued for most of the night. Today we woke to sunshine which was great to dry out the awning. Then we had rain most of the way home. After unpacking the van we are feeling rather weary tonight. Tomorrow we will continue planning for our Canada/Alaska trip on the 8th August. Hopefully I'll be able to continue my travel blogs over there. Until then Rob & Carol

... cool. While we were walking along the edge of the sea we saw the dolphins come in and they were swimming really close to us.  This is was Monkey Mia is famous for as there is a group of dolphins that know they will be fed every morning so they come right up to the beach. There are set times they are fed but luckily for us that morning they appeared early and we were able to watch them before all the crowds arrived.  It was really great to see wild dolphins up close ...

... Gill and husband Dave; now started a busy few days exploring this great city and surroundings.

It was Easter Weekend and I was invited to join Gill and Dave to their son's house for a family lunch. Really delicious and lovely to be with them all.

Easter Saturday and Gill opted to take me on a visit to Kings Park, one of the few hills in Perth (I do miss my mountains!!) Kings Park is a 4.06-square-kilometre (1 ...

... I'm getting ridiculously excited to start my traveling up north, especially since I've been living on a budget lately to be able to afford it. Only a few months away! When that happens I'll probably update you guys a lot more regularly being that I'll be moving around to new areas so often. I'm sure you'll get another Perth update in the meantime though as there's still things I want to experience while I'm here. Hope you're all doing well and that you enjoyed the update!

... come fogli di carta fa si che quando fuori fa caldo, la casa diventi un forno, e quando fuori fa freddo, diventi un frigorifero. La zona dove si trova la casa non e' migliore delle sue condizioni: Burswood, East Perth, uno dei quartieri piu' malfamati della citta', c'e' un furto praticamente ogni sera, e girare da soli di notte e' quantomeno rischioso. Ma almeno e' a sole due fermate di treno dal centro e c'e' una fermata dell'autobus proprio davanti alla porta di casa, oltre ad un ...

... rates in basic but comfy family holiday cottages on the island for up to two weeks. What a gift to families that would never otherwise to be able to afford such an experience for their kids. The lodge is also pretty basic accom but worth staying at to experience this fantastic island. I recommend room 37 or 36 if you are travelling with kids. Many people stay on boats on the numerous moorings around the island. On our previous two trips ...
