We have been in Perth for about a week as I type this, I have dated it from last week because we went to Fremantle during the week and I want the timeline to be more accurate, not that it matters really So we are staying with some of Reginas friends from home and college and leitrim. Aidan has been looking after us in the house, extremely well I might add, and we have been doing a bit of exploring around Perth and Mossman Park (where we are staying/living at the...

We got to the hostel, off the motor way and down into the city really easily. I threw Regina and the bags out of the car and headed into the city centre to drop the car off.
