Day 1 & 2 - Kings Park & Karrinyup

After waking up at lunchtime on Saturday we took a trip to Kings Park which is the largest city park in the world. From here we could see the fabulous landscape of the River Swan against the backdrop of Perth city.




The weather was most pleasant but did look a bit black over Bill's mothers! Simon was on a mission to purchase a new camera so we moved onto to Leederville where Paul & Biz used to reside. Whilst Simon & Paul tootled off for their shopping expedition Biz, the girls & I had a stroll through Leederville and then we all met up at 'The Garden' for some dinner & of course Beer. The heavens then opened and it rained for the first time in Perth since before Christmas, I think the weather had followed us from the UK!



We followed the coastal road back to the Anscombe Hotel, the sea looked lovely although we made do with seeing through the window as it was still chucking it down. We were desperately trying to stay awake until after 8.00pm to help with the jet lag and had a lazy evening watching TV and having a sociable beer or two for Simon, Biz & Paul.

The next day was Sunday - Mothers Day :) I had two lovely cards and a selection of thoughtful presents and  Aunty Biz also got a card! It began lazily before taking a trip to the shopping mall at Karrinyup, Simon thought there may be a camera shop so again he went without protest. We had lunch at a lovely cafe and surprisingly it didn't involve any alcohol! The weather turned out quite nice and the girls, Uncle Paul & Porter all enjoyed a dip in the pool with Jodie 'helping' Jenny in, Uncle Paul 'helping' Jodie in and Jodie 'helping' Uncle Paul in who I have to say whinged like a baby because it was a little on the cold side! After a few laps running around the edge of the pool getting excited Porter eventually plucked up the courage to join them all.





We finished the day with a fabulous roast dinner cooked by Biz which was delicious :)
