Slept in a little this morning. Luke stayed with us last night after having a couple of beers on the balcony. Rained all night and woke up to a cloudy morning. No rain all day though. Went out to breakfast at Lukes favourite breakfast place, very nice breakfast. Luke then went into work to sort out the upcoming trip and we went out to the airport to pick up Chris and Emily. What a drama....put Perth Airport in the satnav, easy you'd think? Ended up at the International Airport (Terminal 1), went into the carpark then out again, went back to the domestic terminal, went in, wrong terminal, it was Terminal 2, we wanted terminal 3, back out to the carpark, finally found the right one on the other side of the airport, after planning a quiet coffee while we waited for the children, ended up getting there just as their plane landed. They weren't too fazed, they flew business class so were very well looked after all the way over!!
Headed straight into Kings Park. Chris had watched the tourist video on the way over so he was full of knowledge, very helpful thanks Chris, unfortunately he can't read a map or understand a satnav so we saw plenty of Perth before we got to Kings Park. Very helpful, thanks Chris.
Clouds got very light and we did a treetop walk and had great views of the city.
On our way again to Cottesloe Beach and had a light lunch at the pub overlooking the beach, nice and warm in the sun. Had a ;little walk on the beach and our tourguide then lead us on a scenic route back to our unit in Fremantle.
Showers then walk to Little Creatures Brewery for tea. All got together tonight for a quiet drink and an assortment of meals tonight, all shared and enjoyed.
