Day 4 - South Perth

So, the plan today was to head down to South Perth and go on the Swan Jet Adventure which is a speed boat that whizzes around, a bit like an alton towers ride.

We parked by the Bell Tower which apparently has bells all the way from England in it.

At last the Perth sun was finally well and truly out and the skies were blue :)

We headed over to the boat................can you spot us??

Can you see us? No, you won't! Unfortunately it was closed so after a light refreshment we headed over the other side by a sedate ferry instead while Paul & Biz fought their way through the traffic to meet us.

We had a slight emergency when we reached the other side and Paul & Biz hadn't arrived, Jodie nearly went into a full scale meltdown having not eaten in over an hour! Soon enough though our rescuers arrived and all was then well.

Biz packed a fab picnic and we lunched by the river and then had a walk with Porter. The girls thought about having a paddle but on seeing the amount of jellyfish they decided against it.

Can I have one dad?

Simon was well impressed to discover a drive through 'offy' on the way home, he didn't even have to leave the comfort of his air conditioned seat to purchase further 'refreshments!' He now has an idea for a new venture in the UK!  Tonights dinner was Biz’s Curry Con Carne......... yum yum yum :) Jenny earned herself $5 from Biz for eating a red kidney bean!

We needed to be prepared for Jodies’s birthday excursion tomorrow..... we are going swimming with dolphins and then off to penguin island, so after dinner we made sure everything was ready for our early start!
