We had to soak up a bit of the hotel, right? So we spent a few hours lounging around, catching up on the news, sleeping in and taking nice, long showers. We decided that since it wasn’t a very nice day, that we’d head to the AQWA…the Aquarium of Western Australia. It’s pretty good that we did, because it was really educational and had some pretty good displays, including an underwater moving tunnel with a tank full of sharks and massive rays. There was also a seal tank and a few touch tanks around. It was a good way to spend the day.
When we left the aquarium, the sun was finally coming out so we went to the most popular beach in Perth, Cottelsoe. It wasn’t warm enough for us to do any swimming or lying in the sun, so we didn’t stay long…just long enough to notice that the café and visitors center right on the water was called Indiana. I about lost it.
From there, we went to Fremantle, which I think is a lot better than Perth, with more culture and a more relaxed vibe. We went to the Little Creatures brewery and had a couple of beers and some really good food. Little Creatures is about the most American beer I can find, with a really tasty IPA.
The only problem with Fremantle is that it smells a bit like pee. We were so grossed out by it for hours, until we went down to the wharf and realized it was because a HUGE ship had pulled into port and it was full of livestock. The smell of the ship affected the entire city it was that big.
We did a bit more exploring and then ended up at the caravan park for the night. It’s cold!!!!
