Sonje and KK took us to the beach for view of a sunset on our first night. We got to watch all the kite surfers which was pretty fascinating. The next day we took a river cruise from Freemantle to Perth, which was really nice. Perth is a fairly large city with 2.5 million residents. Just like all the other larger towns here, there is an esplanade and plenty of parks in the City. Their train system is great and we enjoyed wandering around.

Down in the Margaret River area there were more great beaches and we got to wade in the Indian Ocean.
So here's what we have learned thus far:
1) Aussie's don't know how to make martinis.
2) They aren't friendly and don't want to give you directions when your're lost.
3) The country is beautiful and they truly appreciate what they have.
4) They love to party and also drink plenty of coffee.
5) Their airlines are great
6) No tipping is expected, but for that reason you get fairly poor service everywhere.
We're getting near the end of the trip and in some ways are sad to see it end, but I am getting homesick. Texts are great, but they don't match phone calls and visits. Our 4 month trip next year will prove to be interesting.
Oh it looks like a great time with Sonje, Kwasi and KK. I know Bengt Morten would have loved to join you in the wine country. Love to follow you on your adventures.
