The Good Life in Perth

Hello,

We continue to enjoy ourselves in Perth.

On New Year's Day Adam and I drove to a park (one of many here in Perth) on the Swan River for a quiet picnic lunch. It wasn't quite windy enough to sail and it was nice to have a rest day.
Yesterday we met with Beau and Marcus for a lovely lunch at a restaurant overlooking the beach at Cottesloe, called the Blue Duck.

Today Adam and I went into the city for a look around- we had some sushi for lunch and a nice coffee. Then we went to Pelican Point where I went for a sail. It was a cold rainy day today....unusual weather for here, and a southerly wind was blowing. It wasn't too consistent, but enough wind for me to get out and practice for a while. Today I sailed on Adam's new board- the smallest board I have been on so far, and I managed it OK! I was really pleased- there is a sense of achievement which comes with learning a difficult new sport like this, and mastering steps along the way.

Tonight we met with our friend Darren again, for a final catch up while we are in Perth. He took us to Subiaco for dinner- we went to a very hip Japanese restaurant and had a great meal, before going to a cafe for coffee and dessert. It was a really enjoyable evening and it has been great to catch up with Darren.
I think now we wont be eating out for a while, or else we wont have enough money left to make it the rest of the way home!

Will pop a few more piccies up soon.
Love and best wishes,
E&A xx
