G'day Mates,
The coming few stories you will find that there are a lot more family shoots then normal but that is of course because we are with our daughter and try to give her a good time and some sightseeing of Perth and the surrounding. I hope you also will enjoy this, I'll promise there is a lot to see .......
OK lets start;
25 March 2015;
We are finally in Perth, very excited and ready for our daughter to come;
We are on a caravan park only 7 k's from the Airport so we could nearly walk to pick her up, of course we didn't ....
She came from Dubai and as you can see she landed at half past 5, a very good time to arrive after a long travel....
after a lot kisses, cuddles and tears its time to ask how the flight was and she said she had a terrific flight....
the dusk is falling and so lets quickly go home to have some bubbles......
then a small dinner......
Aah, I hear you thinking, "where is she going to sleep?" well, here is the answer;
Sheila brought the little tent with her in which her brother Danny also had slept when he was here and travelled with us, now already two years ago.....
but, because we knew she would arrive in the afternoon and it would be dark by the time we came home, Fred made from the spot were our seats and table is, a bed, so the first night was all prepared...
After a good sleep (I hope), she mailed the loved ones who stayed behind that she had arrived and all was OK....
Also we put up the tent which will be her little own room for the two weeks she is here.
An now just waiting for things to come.....
The first day we did the Swan Valley food and wine trail; a 32 k's scenic drive trail taking in more than 150 attractions including wineries, lively breweries, fine restaurants and bustling cafes, distilleries, arts, crafts and markets, accommodation outlets and venues that sell just picked fresh produce.....
The first one we visited was the Ironbark Brewery, of course we had to try one of the beers and Sheila had a cider......
because you can't keep on drinking, you have to visit something else so now and then.....
Here you could taste olive oil, pickles, dressings, chocolate and lots more....
nice chutneys.....
A cork made out of cork
Next Vineyard .....hips hips .....
I always love to see these big barrels but I love the content more.....
In between we visited more things like nougat, nuts and lollies stores but here we came to an end of our tour with a little bite and a nice glass of wine.....
March 28....
Its lovely weather and so we decided to go to the beach......
Cottesloe Beach
naturally Sheila not only wanted to have a great holiday with some anti stress periods, whereas the beach is a magnificent place for that, but a little healthy colour would be a very welcome thing too...
Earlier that day there had been a sandcastle competition......
Unfortunately when you fall asleep in the sun, there will be no healthy colour but more a crayfish look-alike....
March 29 Scarborough Beach;
Beach again, too nice and too hot for long trips in the car, besides that.....
There is so much to talk about when you haven't seen each other for a long time....
and also just to be together is a gift.....
Nearly time to go home and have a nice dinner......
Our Baby Q BBQ is just big enough for 3 T-bone steaks.....
Good night, see ya soon......
Cheers!
