Hey all!
I'm writing from Deb's place using her computer. It has been one of the best 4 days of my travels so far, here in Perth with the JADE girls. It's amazing, the crazy things we do (like being in bikinis at secluded beaches in late Autumn! COLD but the sun makes it bearable).. the catching up with each other, talking about relationships and boys and our future and past. :)
I have no time to write all this but the following is a mental note to myself of what i've done so far.
13th May -
Arrived at Perth and welcomed by Deb
14th May -
Exploring Perth City (yawns), the iconic Swan Bells and a city that you can cover on foot in 2 hours, Vietnamese lunch, suburb shopping, baked Lamb dinner and feast (apple crumble) by the Lin family, picking up Anna
15th May -
Exploring Fremantle - Market shopping, coffee beans and the freshest Fish & Chips, Morries Nutty day, drive to the farm and had a stop by the most awesome wood-fire pizza tavern (one of the best kept secrets), and parked our car by a quiet road out of nowhere to see the stars in complete darkness
16th May -
Donnybrook and Deb's Farm! Crazy 'Yoube' ride around, Margaret River - Fudge and chocolate shops, Val Tasse Winery (?), Lunch @ Woody Nook (super pretty place, European food), bikini posing at a secluded beach, and dinner cooked by me (Teriyaki Chicken Pasta, Stir-fried Brocooli & Cauliflower) with Joy's hearty corn soup! Anna's mad suggestion of taking a picture of wild kangeroos up close in the dark.
17th May -
Crumpets breakfast and leftover corn soup, G Spot Ice cream place at Harvey's farm, leftover Teriyaki Chicken sandwich lunch @ Harvey's Dam, drive back to Perth, church service at Murdoch Uni, simple dinner of baked pumpkins, shrooms and tomatoes with cheese and greens :)
18th May -
Back to Perth, visit around the UWA campus, King's Park and Swan River, Leederville shopping, deb's special stew for dinner, and watching 'How I met your mother'
19th May -
Visited the Pinnacles, Caversham Wildlife Park and had pics with koalas, kangaroos, and wombats, picnic lunch and sand-boarding and a 4WD adventure. Dinner at Ciao Italia - the best italian food i've ever tried!
20th May -
Overnight flight to Sydney, terrible 14-16 mixed dorm hostel at Sydney Backpackers with over-friendly and weird men, Joy took us around half the city on foot - Harbor Bridge, Town Hall, QVB, the Rocks, Darling Harbor etc, met Danna for Pancakes on the rocks (to die for chocolate pancakes), lots of cam-whoring group style and Sakura eatery dinner. Changed to a 6 female dorm.
21st May -
Tour of sydney city part two with Joy, oldest library, St Mary's Cathedral, Opera House and tour, Chiefly Plaza and foodcourt food, met German roomie and she followed us around, dinner with jolly and HD at Masuya, explored the night life but was disappointed with the sad crowd
22nd May -
Tour-ourselves day, met W kor and he brought me to the Sydney Fish Market for a delectable treat of the freshest seafood fit for a queen, saw the largest Pelican, Paddy's Market and Chinatown, Market City and yogurt. While the girls went to Manly Beach. Reconvened for dinner and Darling Harbour's fireworks at kor's hotel suite, had a delicious european food spread with the girls and Y. 'Clubbing' but as usual, i couldn't get into it.
23rd May -
Oxford Street and Paddy's Market shopping, vintage and flea markets, American Apparel madness. Had the lousiest MEATPIE ever. Did not feel like shopping so i ventured on my own to the Opera House to catch the romantic night-scape, how can anyone miss that? Took trains on myself from Museum station - they filmed the Matrix there!!! Reconvened later and the girls watched Angels and Demons (not interested) while i was lazing in the dorm, had Bondi Burger together for late night dinner.
24th May -
Blue Mountains is freezing cold, the hostel at the Flying Fox is so comfortable so cosy and the people are great!!! Ate at FRESH and went to Echo Point, Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls. Met W kor and Y for a mini dinner party again at the hostel, watched 'While you were sleeping' and finally for the first time tried his cooking.
25th May -
Walking around Katoomba Falls with Deb- Furber Steps, Witches Leap and many fantastic views. Ate at FRESH again, and rushed to the train station. Bought lots of Krispy Kremes. Journey home. :)
Night, principessa
