Every body was at work today and were away early, so we took advantage of being able to catch up on sleep, so didn't arise till midday. Fry up for Brekky then we decided to go for a magical mystery tour in the car to sus-out how best to get around. We started with a short trip to the Wungong Dam about 15 miles away but were not able to get to the waters edge due to Local restrictions. Moved on to the long drive into Perth City Centre - about an hours drive. D...

Not much to say here other than this was travel day from Dubai to Perth. All went very smoothly and the flight was very comfortable considering take off was at 0300 and landing at Perth time of 1830. Food on the flight was good though sleep was difficult. Transit through Aussie customs went smoothly as did collecting our hire car and getting on the road for the 40 minute drive down to Byford where Jen, Chekez and Petey live. Found their house easily and settl...

Loads of gold and jewellery and watches, probably worth Millions of £'s in shop after shop in a covered pedestrian area. Needed sunglasses after staring at so much bling....then had ou...

Awoke at about 8am after a good nights sleep ready for a day of action at the water park etc. However no day starts without breakfast. As expected of a 5* hotel breakfast resembled a Global Buffet. Too much to describe in a blog but needless to say we all stuffed ourselves. Next stop was the Wild Wadi Water Park. We were too late to get a seat on the courtesy mini bus the hotel runs, so had a taxi hailed for us by the concierge for the 20 minute ride. Taxi'...

One of the softest landings possible. Nice to see so many Passport Control desks and all of them manned. It made going through passport control so easy and quick. Picked up our bags and easily got a taxi to hotel - 32 AED so about £8. The Jumeirah Creekside Hotel is a 5* hotel and very hospitable and comfortable. Our room was upgraded from a triple room to a full duplex apartment with amazing downtown views. Upstairs and downstairs with 2 beds, full kitche...
