Got up about 8 feeling fully refreshed and with no jet lag. Fully on Perth time now, 7 hours ahead of the UK. First of all I went round to Travellers Autobarn where I am buying my campervan from. A great guy called Ben introduced me to her. She's got to have a service and full valet and be kitted out before I can have her next week. Can't wait to pick her up and get driving. I've just got to negotiate the price now with the guy at their Sydney branch. He will phone me tommorow. After that I had a mooch around the city to see what had changed since I was last here 14 years ago. There has been a lot of new buildings constructed in the city and there is an incredible amount of building work going on at the moment. A lot of it was very familiar though.

It was reasonably hot today, probably about 25 degrees. Had lunch at a coffee shop and than sat on the grass in the park when Jay phoned me. It was so good to speak to her. Missing her loads already. Shopping next and bought a Tom Tom XL sat nav from JB Hi-Fi. It was only about £50 which was great. Also had a look around for sandals, flip flops, water bottles and other assorted stuff I still need for me and the campervan. Got a good idea of prices. Going to Belmont and Karrinyup tomorrow to have a look at K-Mart and other shops and will buy all stuff then. Woolworths was next for some food. Woolworths is a supermarket chain here. Had a bit of a shock at the prices, food is just so expensive! Got back and went to Liqourland for some beers. Got some VB stubbies. I phoned my friend Caroline's mum later on and she has very kindly offered to take me out and about in her car on Saturday and for something to eat. Just sorted admin stuff out on netbook after that and crashed.
