Our quick weekend trip to Perth was fun-filled and relaxing. Perth is the home of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, and we definitely took full advantage.
A peaceful round of yoga before we were chased off the grass by cardio boxers.
We took a ferry to the very remote Rottnest Island. It was the epitome of Australia - gorgeous and fun all around the coast with an almost completely empty centre. There were almost no roads and maybe three cars on the whole island. Biking was the most efficient form of travel.
Our bikes had affectionate names - Linus, Belle, and Velma.
Rottnest Island was also home to the adorable Quokka.
Known by some (me) as a Wallarat: wallaby + rat.
Public transportation was comme çi, comme ça. Let's just say we did quite a bit of walking. I'm still not sure if he was joking, but one Australian told us to visit King's Park, "It's huge, way bigger than Central Park." Okay sure, bigger than CP, but size isn't everything. King's Park was a giant untamed bushland. I thought I was in the savannahs of Lion King. Rafiki, is that you?
We trekked through King's Park to the Botanic Gardens to see this view of the Perth Central Business District just after sunset. And then we walked into the Perth CBD.
And then we walked to the airport with all our 15 kg of luggage.
And then we walked to the airport. Note we were carrying our luggage throughout this odyssey.
For the grand finale - no trip with me is complete without loads of food, especially after all that walking. Exhibit A: The Family Size "The Works" pizza:
..with extra pineapple.
