Sorry for the lack of blog update yesterday but the site was down when we tried to update it.

On the 1st night in Perth we went to an Italian restaurant in Northbrige, the restaurant was run by this Italian lady in her 70s - she is apparently fairly famous in Australia as she had her own TV show and she showed us some magazine clippings. Hayley ordered Vegetable soup and when it turned up it had loads of fresh veg in it - the portion was massive and as she had already ordered a pizza for main she left some of the soup. This little old lady came over and spoon fed Hayley two massive spoonfuls of soup and was instructed to finish the rest of the portion.

Yesterday we went to Fremantle which is an old town port about 20 mins away from Perth, we went to the Prision that it there - the conditions in the prison were pretty brutal - the prision only closed in 1991. Then we wandered around the town and had fish and chips.

Today we went to Rottnest Island which is about 10 miles off the coast - this is

The night Hayley was forced to finish her starter
basically a tiny island where there are hardly any cars and some beautiful beaches - the water was crystal clear and we sat on the beach and swam in the water.
The weather here is definitely warming up and it was in the late 20Cs today - the sun is so strong here that the weakest sun tan lotion they sell is factor 30+

Soup!
I am laughing so much at Hayley being spoon fed her soup! Only Hayley could be in such a situation! It looks like you are all having a fabulous time....
