so pretty much slept the entire flight to Perth, even though there was a crying baby most of the journey, and then slept most of the first day in Perth, as did Mez. Think she was glad to be home, and her dad has made me more than welcome in his house. So first day was a bit of a waste, but second we had a fun filled day. Of to the zoo to see the native widlife of Australia. Got to see the bell tower and perths attempt at a london eye, both a complete waste of time, however they were on the way to going to get the ferry to the zoo.
Zoo was alright, got to see some cool stuff, but really just like any other zoo in my opinion.
Thursday went shopping and met up with Laura (girl that I was in Thailand with) and just hung out with her until I was heading out for dinner and drinks with Jemma (from South Queensferry) was great to catch up with her as I haven't seen her in ages, obviously since she has been in Oz.
Another day out was planned for the Friday, a trip to Rottnest Island. Really you'd think I'd learn. I don't do boats - pure and simple, need I say more. Once on the island though, it was beautiful and worth the sea sickness to get there. Got to see quokkas, which look like big ass rats to me, but apparently they're not lol. Went on a bus round the island getting to see ship wrecks out to sea and lovely beaches and coves. Would have happily done the 2 hour jungle treck (reference to borneo) to get to one of these beaches. Another terrible boat journey, would have been more than happy to have stayed on the island, but also really glad to be back on mainland. Was busy day, but got to meet some of Mez' friends later that night as they always have gathering every friday night.
4 o'clock in the morning, a god forsaken hour, this was the time that we were leaving (we being Mez, Laura, Cody and I) to go to Margaret River. Having not been to bed got a good sleep in the car as we traveled up. Maragert River has wineries, hence the reason for me going. We arrived at 8 in the morning, funnily enough wineries aren't open at that time, but we killed a couple of hours until they did open. Went to my first ever winery, where i pretended to be sophisticated and know what i'm talking about. 10 o'clock in the morning and i'm drinking wine, not sure that should be allowed. Hitting the pub after as we waited for Laura to finish her make-up job (whole reason she was there) and we headed back, tiring ass day for all.
Meredith's dad took us to another wildlife park on the sunday. AMAZING!!!!! so much better than the zoo, got to feed kangaroos and pet koalas, actually one named Karen, and also got to pet wombats and possums, and see tasmanian devils eating. I'd defo go back, and i'm sure Mez would too, she was pure in her element. Her dad then drove us to Kings park for dinner and a lovely view of the city lite up at night. Since it was my last night in Perth and with Mez we met up with Cody and Laura again and headed to the casino. I didn't place a single bet, however the atmosphere was great and I think I may have drank to much lol, but it was my last night here.
We were meant to go to Freemantle today to the prison, but Mez is still in bed, and i'm sure its also where i'd like to be, so i'm kinda assuming that we're not going. I do need to pack agian, something I'm not going to miss when I return home, I don't know how I manage it, my bag just seems to explode when ever I open it. Suppose somethings never change. So off to pack and try make myself feel human again, if that is at all possible, ready for my flight to Bangkok . . . oh so nearly home.
