WELCOME TO WA!
Sorry for the delay guys, it took us a while to get over the train journey from Darwin to Perth and yes we have been very lazy since our long awaited arrival here in WA.
Although I have to admit it has been worth the wait, Perth is a beautiful city with its first rate ocean beeches, the people are known to be friendlier than their east coast rivals, The night life is vibrant with lots of top class food and wine, lots of cultural events and more days of sunshine than any other capital city in the country.
We hopped along to Fremantle which is a 1 hour ferry ride from the city, its a popular place for young people and backpackers. There you can enjoy the ‘Cappuchino Strip’ where there are rows and rows of cute little tea and coffee shops at nice ‘Rip off’ prices (not really backpacker friendly) and clothes boutiques at not steep prices but b***** vertical i might add!
Oh yes i remember now why its popular with backpackers, there’s Bars, bars, bars and bars and if you get fed up of alcohol, theres always the coffee shops.
Saturday we went swimming with dolphins which was well and truley awesome, we went to Rockingham which is about 50 k outside Perth, there we got on a boat and climbed into our wetsuits and snorkel gear. Each Guide had a motorised scooter which dragged them around and everyone would form a big chain which we would do by holding onto the person infront of us so there was no real swimming involved. We saw lots of dolphins in their family groups and they were very playful whilst we were around. It was an overwelming experience and one we’ll never forget.
Its a beautiful hot spring day and we are preparing to head off to Melbourne tonight where we have been told the weather is a bit like London but not as cold! Yikes! bring back me coat!
Toodle-oo for now
And in the words of Jerry Springer ‘Take care of yourself and each other’.
Hi you 2. Glad you’ve still got some money to go to these exotic places!
Received your photo CDs - they’re great - only had time to view the first one so far - looking forward to seeing one with Nik’s hands NOT in his pockets.
Mel has sold her house and bought a brand new one - I’m sure that she’ll want to tell you all about it herself. They have to move in by the 17th Dec. but have to move out of theirs by 2nd - I bet we’re having a lodger for a fortnight!!
Look forward to your further news.
Good luck.
Hey guys. Glad to hear that your return to civilization is bearing such pleasant fruit. I sent you email recently, so I guess most of what I want to say is contained within that, but just wanted to, y’know touch base. Have a good ‘un.
Hey guys. I”ve just been watching the news. You guys aren”t anywhere near all that Racist nonsense going on in Sydney are you?
Hope you”re safe and sound.
Alex.
