Arrived

Right then, finally managed to get an internet connection ...

Good flight, only 30 mins delayed due to "disappointing tail winds". Arrived in Perth on Saturday around 6pm just as the sun was setting, dumped our stuff at the apartment and headed straight for the nearest diner to celebrate Ruby's birthday.  Amazingly enough, we all slept through the night and woke up to a beautiful sunny day. 

Sunday morning we took the bus to Fremantle, a port where convicts were landed and detained in the local prison.  It's now a buzzing cosmopolitan town with local arts and crafts, coffee shops and weekend markets.  It was great to unwind after the long flight and dive straight into Australian culture, past and present ... oh, and hang around on the beach.
