I arrived in Perth on 14th August quite late so we just dumped our bags and started drinking in the hostel. We stayed in a place called the Old Swan Barracks and I would definately recommend it. Im staying there for another night at the end of my trip when i have to go home :-(
Me and Emma flew into Perth from Australia and met a guy called Andy at the aiport who we shared a cab home with (but the way Andy if you read this you still owe me 12 bucks for that haha!!) We had wuite a few drinks in our hostel and then went down toa bar called the Brass Monkeys. Its quite expensive to drink out here (especially if your fussy like me and dont like beer!) especially when we have just come from Asia which is soooo incredibly cheap!
The next day we woke up and wandered around Perth town centre. There were lots of good shops so obviously i had to buy a few new clothes!! We went down to the river which was beautiful. This time of year its not that hot in Perth but there wasnt a cloud in the sky and it was still probably hotter than most days in England. Perth is meant to have the most sunny days compared to anywhere else in the world! We bought some burgers in Woolworths (not like our woolworths) and went back to the hostel where Ged made us lunch. In the afternoon Emma, Sarah and Ged (who were all hungover and tired) went to sleep. But seen as im Miss Tourist who is only in Australia for 2 weeks I went off walking. I wanted to get to Kings Park which has a statue of Queen Victoria and a war memorial. Well following the map i ended up waking the longest way (I should have got the bus) It was a really nice walk, where I saw the river, lakes, parkland etc but by the time I got to Kings Park I was knackered. I bought an ice cream and drink and laid down on the grass in the sun.
That night Liverpool where playing so Ged and Andy really wanted to watch the game. We went to an Irish bar, full of pervy irishman trying their luck but they wernt playing the game. We had some drinks in there and then headed to Perth Casino!! They were playing the game and it was an amazing casino with loads of ways to lose your money!!!!
Ged watched the game whilst Emma, Sarah and I wandered around the casino. It wasnt long before gambling Emma started to spend her money!!! She was well excited and won a few times but lost a hell of a lot more. We went back to Ged and started talking to a couple of irish guys at the bar. I found it so difficult to understand them so when Kyle told me his name I thought he said Jacob (doesnt help that Im blonde) Emma went off to do some more gambling with John but I didnt wanna lose my money so stayed talking to Kyle. They both lived in Broome and Kyle had an amazing apartment overlooking Broome Centre, beautiful views. (me being a tourist again) He told me he used to play for Manchester United when he was younger and he was a model. As everyone would we didnt believe him, it was only when we googled it we found out he was telling the truth! lol! We arranged to meet them the next night in a bar called the Deen. By this point Ged had managed to get smashed so we took him to the casino cafe and got him some food. He was hilarious calling everyone his enemies and drowning his chips in vinegar. Then we got a cab home.
The next morning (our last day in Perth) we set the alarm for 9am so we could have a nice long day in Freemantle. The problem was we didnt get in till 3am and were all feeling a little rubbish! So the alarm went back and back and we didnt get up till 11am. We walked into Perth centre to grab some food and then got the train to Freemantle. We didnt end up getting there till nearly 2pm and went staight to the harbour where we had the most amazing fish and chips. If you ever go Freemantle definately get fish and chips! We then headed straight bak to our hostel for an afternoon nap (still feeling a little rubbish) so ended up in Freemantle for a very short time. Ive seen it now though! That night we grabbed some food and headed out to the Brass Monkeys to start our night. We met Emma and Sarahs friends for drinks in there. We then went to the Deen where we met Kyle and John and spent the night getting drunk. Well your gonna if the drinks are on special, only 5 dollars and someone else is paying!!
The next day we packed up our things and headed to the aiport for our flight to Broome. I think we may have all been drunk still because it was the funniest morning. we couldnt stop laughing at everything in the cab, think the cab man got a little freaked out! We got to the airport checked in and got on our flight to BROOME!!!!!!!
