Current Mood: Esctatic & Flirtatious

So we have arrived into Perth having survived our little brush with the outback.  The flight over was lovely and all four of us managed to get into Emergancy Exit Seats – not a hard feat considering the amount of people that were on the flight,  and that we were the first people in the check-in queue – but hey, it still felt nice being able to stretch out.

The Perth hostel is lovely and we’ve got a lovely double room.  Em and I are doing our own thing from now until the 23rd March, making sure that we meet up again for Luce’s birthday (no way we’re missing that!).  This way we all get a little rest bite from each other ready for the full on camper van in New Zealand and its also easier when you want to do something.

Perth was nice as we got to meet up with our friend Bien who was staying for the first few nights down at Cossteloe beach, it was really nice as we explored Freemantle together, a coffee/fish lovers dream (well fish eaters).  It was nice to spend the day with her, listening to how her travels have been going and getting her advise on bits and bobs – she recommended a Surf Camp down the East coast, which we have now booked with Lucy and are travelling down to meet Scatt a bit later in the trip – (Scatt is meeting a friend in Sydney a bit earlier). 

For a treat we got to watch the cinema a few times – seeing ‘Music and Lyrics’ on valentines day after a lovely meal at a nice restaurant (beats beans on bread).  We visited Swan River and had a few nice walks around the various suburbs before exploring the actual city centre and the shops.

Em has now got a nice camera and an underwater case to go with it, so we have promised ourselves a few dives to see what the West Coast has to offer – one of these may be the Rottnest Island wreck dive, but I’ll let you know more about that once we do it (if we do it!).

We’re picking up a car on the 21st March and are then heading down the South Coast, so we’ll see what adventures we have down there.  The girls are doing the same, so it will be really nice to meet up in Exmouth and talk about each others trip.  Looking forward to it…  Sorry about the length of time it has taken to update this, the internet cafes are few and far between, but I’ll try my best.  Feel free to leave comments or drop me a mail to let me know how you all are!
