Friday 4th March – Last day, sad. Packed the bags and forced the suitcases shut. 2 Kilos over, should be okay hopefully, we will just have to drink the red wine at check in otherwise. Had a last dip in the pool and caught the sun for a while. We went down to Hillary’s Breakwater for last meet of everyone today, felt sad. Came back and just pottered around to fill the day with nothing, it’s hard to do anything on these days, they drag when you know you are ...

Thursday 3rd March – Had a drive to Mandurah today, lovely place, how much more it had developed since last time is unbelievable. Looked at all the posh apartments around the Little Venice area. Dream........ Had a walk around the river, still very hot at 38 degrees, I don’t know what the weather forecast is doing forecasting 32 when it clearly isn’t. Reached 39 again today. How much better places look when there aren’t lots of people around, peaceful and...

It’s actually really very nice down there with a lovely amp...

Tuesday 1st March – Den dropped us off at Lakeside so we could catch the train into Perth for a wander round the shops. Extremely hot again today. Had a satay lunch in the shopping centre and decided to catch the train to Fremantle and spend the rest of the day there. As the train came in to the station we had a great view of the ship Queen Elizabeth in dock. Had a cool drink in a roadside bar and wandered round until 4.30 where we met Judy and Barry in the c...

Monday 28th February – Dave popped round and we went to Lakeside to get the train to Perth Esplanade. We caught the City Sightseeing Bus to have a tourist view of Perth. Very very hot on the top of the bus. Filled an hour or two, did the complete circuit and returned to the Esplanade. Wandered up to the city and found somewhere to have a bit to eat and a cool drink. Wandered up to Perth Mint and watched them make gold bullion bars, a very good place to visit. S...
