Home cooked dinners by Trude and Marcus (my gorgeous cousin and her fabulous husband); sleep ins; hanging out in PJs a little later than normal; a glass of wine or two and some lovely chats - theses were definitely the highlights of Perth! Yep, we were lucky enough to stay with these guys and had a wonderful time - they couldn't have made us feel more welcome. The weather continued to be pretty foul but we did manage to take a look around all the same.
The Aquarium near Hillarys Boat Harbour was really good, although we still think that the Sunny Coast's Underwater World is top-notch - we certainly are spoilt having this so close to home.
We also enjoyed exploring Subiaco and Perth on foot - including a trip to Kings Park where we stopped for a quick drink at the cafe and were served by Rachael from Masterchef! I thought it was a little rude to sneak a photo of her, and too embarassed to have her pose for one with me so you'll just have to trust me that it was her!

We also filled our time with going out for eats, a little shopping, catching up with the lovely Richard and Heather, drives up and down the coast, and taking in the sunset over the ocean.
The Wrap Up:
Glad we had: Warm bed, and a place to call 'home' (if only for 3 days!)
Wish we had: Kept an eye on the street signs so we wouldn't have gotten a parking fine in Subiaco on game day :(
