We got up late and still felt knackered. After brekky I telephoned Mighty as the waste pipe under our little sink was leaking. They were very good about it and arranged for us to take it to, Motek, a camper van place in a suburb called Albany just a few kilometres down the road. We found it no problem with our new robotic GPS and got an excellent service there. The two guys that saw us were brilliant and whilst we enjoyed a coffee they repaired the leak and got u...

We awoke from our slumber all spaced out and jet lagged feeling like we were in the 1970's. We grabbed some brekky in the 1970's dining room before getting our stuff together and checking out. We had to get back to the airport in order to get picked up by the camper van people. We waved goodbye to the kiwi on the roof and got in the minibus to the airport. Luckily 'Mr Happy' wasn't working today! Once at the airport we went into the Telecom NZ shop to get a sim c...

Our alarm call went off at just gone five. We looked out of the window and saw that the airport was already busy. We showered, got our stuff together and walked to the terminal which was literally just across the road. We checked in, trudged through security and got some brekky in the departure lounge. Our flight left on time at 9.30. The engines roared and the plane thundered down the runway taking us off and away from Australian soil. I felt sad to be leaving A...

Our alarm woke us at just gone five. Perth was drizzly and overcast. We showered, got our bags together and then at just before half six we went to wait outside for the taxi that we had booked. Just as we were leaving 'Alf' was stirring and we were sent on our way with an early morning shout and holler medley. It was like bird song on acid! We both felt sad to be leaving Perth but we will definitely be returning here in the future. The taxi was bang on time and t...

It was our final full day in Perth today. We just chilled around the apartment in the morning and then went out around 2pm. It was ******* it down with rain and the city skyline was shrouded in cloud and mist. We really hoped that the rain would clear later as we wanted to spend our final night in Perth sat under the big magical tree in Kings Park watching the sun go down and the city light up. It was that fine drizzly rain that soaks you through so we walked jus...
