27 May 10 – Perth

By Lou: On the whole we haven’t been attracted to the major cities but Perth is the only place Sam has mentioned he really wanted to see so given it was on the way to heading north we pulled in. We think it’s because one of his classmates, Emma, came from Perth. Thankfully he was satisfied with a visit to Kings Park and a spin through the city (oh, it’s not that big) and job done. Craig and I had both been to Perth before and as much as we loved it, we were sick of the cold and wet and wanted to hightail up to the sun in the north. We did a bit of clothes shopping for later in the year and took a drive out to Cottesloe and Scarborough beaches and then we were out of there.

By Craig: Perth, well I’ve been here before with Louise but Sam was interested as Louise suggests above, so we took a look. A visit to Kings Park provided time to wander and take in a coffee and a sculpture or two. A pleasant place to stroll, even if it was in the rain.
OK! While we’re here let's buy some clothes and spoil ourselves a little, I heard Louise say. I think Louise was joking to start with and she certainly didn’t expect me to jump at the chance. So shopping it was and I have to say it was fun, I think the rain was getting to me.
