It was our first flight together as a family of 3! It's also A first aeroplane experience. As A had not reached 2, his ticket was free. This is probably the first and last time he will be travelling for free.
Day 1: 26Aug2022 (Fri) - Sunny We arrived early at Changi Airport as our flight was at 0930. After checked in, we had our breakfast at the food court and explored the grounds. We went to the butterfly garden, but A was more intrigued by the aeroplanes outside and fishes in the pond. Soon, it was time to board the plane. Our seats were at the front so we have ample leg space, but as A did not have a seat, we have put the blanket and pillow on the ground instead. Take off was pretty smooth and A had no issue since he had his pacifier. Ohh but meal time was a disaster. We only had 2 trays, so we had to take turns to eat and A was really mischevious as he was constanly trying to "sweep" the food. Finally meal time was over and A started to nap, while I started to eat my meal.
A slept till nearly landing while I managed to catch a short nap as I was having a bad headache probably from wearing mask the entire time.
We didn't have a great start to this trip. We waited very long for our luggage and husband had a hard time trying to log on to the data. To add on, we were both having headache and A was not cooperating. The only positive point was the weather great, sunny yet cooling. Finally we got on the shuttle to the car hire and got our rental car. A hybrid RAV4 SUV. Car was spacious and clean and car seat was already installed by external party.
We were finally on the road to Fremantle. Sadly, I was vomitting like crazy along the way and A again was not cooperating. As per my plan, we stopped by a grocery store first to get the essential. A refused to get out the car and was crying like no tomorrow. Luckily (or not), he was better after entering the supermarket, but started running around... MY GOSH..
We then made our way to Hougoumont Hotel, our accomm for the 1st night. Check in was
a breeze, but unfortunately, the hotel carpark was full, so we had to park somewhere else, which was payable. After settling down, we took our panadol as our heads were bursting. Just then, A made a poo poo (and this started the trend in which he will poo poo everytime we reach a new place). After cleaning up, we walked to our dinner place, Cicerello's Fish and Chips. Food was generally nice, but the portion was huge and we couldn't finish. The place was decorated with many fish tanks, which helped to entertain A while we ate.
After dinner, we went back to our hotel and that's the end of our first night!
