Sunday in Perth




Sunday, 29 August

Yesterday evening we met Denis and Cathy for dinner and went to a lovely restaurant at South Perth, on a jetty and overlooking the city of Perth. A very enjoyable evening.

Another beautiful day, today, nice and warm – very pleasant, in fact. Unfortunately, Perth has some really weird shopping laws and, apart from the city centre, shops are not allowed to open. It took us quite some time to even find a shop to buy a loaf of bread! Perth’s annual City to Surf race took place this morning – we were a little late to enter and didn’t bring our lycras, anyway – and as quite a few roads were closed, we decided to give the area around the city a miss today.

Therefore, we decided to have a small drive up into the hills, stopped at a farmers’ market, which had numerous stalls of very expensive gourmet products, and spent the remainder of the morning looking for some bread!

This afternoon we really didn’t do very much at all.
