Ptown (Perth)

How we roll

 Before we arrived in Perth we spent a night in a free, side of the road type of camp. We met a nice older NZ couple who had a drink with us and we cooked sausage casserole to match our wine. The good free camps are safe and there ended up being about 6 other cars in this particular camp. There is safety in numbers and it gives you a real sense of camaraderie.

BIG SCRABBLE!

Perth is a small city that is very diverse. The outer suburbs seem boganesk but the CBD is very cosmopolitan. The CBD is a big Asian district with the red light district attached to it. We had Yum Cha and Singapore cuisine which was good and I enjoyed looking in the Chinese book stores.







It seems that sex as an industry is big in WA and very acceptable to advertise and partake in. The CBD has art galleries and the Museum of WA which were free and pretty good. There was a family fun day and big scrabble to delight.

The little vintage shops are cute in the CBD and as with most cities it was fun just to walk around and soak up the atmosphere.

  

Dresses!

Kings Park

 Kings Park is a huge park in the middle of the city and is beautiful in its flora, landscaping and location as it looks out over the Swan River. Fantastic.

Town Hall in Freemantle

We paid a visit to Freemantle and enjoyed fish and chips and marveled at the old buildings. It is very touristy though, but then we are tourists so there you go.

We attempted to book our wonderful wedding present from the Townsends which was a sunset catamaran ride but alas we missed the last boat for April and it does not start running again until November. Dont worry Mandy we will use it for somethings else amazing along the way.

Perth has been enjoyable and reminds us of being back in the early 90's. Mark even found a time zone!

We are off tomorrow along the coast heading North. We purchased some snorkle gear and I am very excited about A) wearing it and B) actually snorkling!
