We rocked up to Perth on Friday 23rd November,
ready to spend a few days in a big city, in a hostel with a proper bed! After
having an initial wander around the city centre, we went on the hunt for a
hostel, which proved more difficult than first expected! After an hour or so of
going back and forth between different places, we eventually came across a
hostel called ‘The Witches Hat’.
When we arrived everyone in the hostel was heading out for
the evening, so we tagged along! The hostel was lovely and the people so
friendly, we wished we had longer in Perth!! Funnily enough, most of our new
friends in the hostel were from England or Ireland. Some dubious looking punch concoction
made from any unclaimed alcohol from the fridge, sent everybody on their way. The
night out was pretty fun in Perth, going to a couple of bars and then onto a
club.
We spent the next day totally chilling out and stayed in on
the evening with everyone having a drink, which somehow resulted in a bunch of
us watching Lion King on the big screen TV in the lounge, party animals!
We took advantage of being in the city and went to the
cinema to watch the new Twilight Film, loved it! Spent the day doing some
shopping around the town and grabbed some dinner.
The next day was our final day in Perth, we really have
enjoyed our time here!! We ran a few errands in the morning and then headed to
the Art Gallery of Western Australia. They had an exhibition on called ‘Picasso
to Warhol’ and we stumbled across a free guided tour too, who explained all
about some of the great paintings.
After some art culture, we headed up to Kings Park, which
gives you spectacular views over the city. Why don’t we have parks like this in
England?!
The next stop after Perth, was just a short distance away,
called Freemantle. We spent a full day there, wandering around the little
quirky shops. When we were down at the harbour, we ordered some yummy fish and
chips, but Lydia made the rooky error of leaving some chips on her plate as we
stood up to leave, bringing on a seagull attack – we escaped though!
Peace and Love,
