Life is a Whirlwind

With only a week left of our adventure life is really a whirlwind. Trying to spend time with everyone can be difficult but we are getting it done.


Wednesday we went to Scarborough Beach with Corey. We went to Peter's by the Sea and had kebabs and then went down to the beach. Lindsay could resist jumping in the ocean and riding some waves while Corey and I just enjoyed the sunshine and I took some photos. Wednesday night we went and visited Paul and Brooke at their place and had a fabulous time. Brooke made a really yummy dinner and then we sat out back talking until about 2am! Many a bottle of wine was drunk that night, I think the final tally was 7. :)


Thursday we spent the day with Janelle. We went to visit Auntie Dot and Uncle Vernon. It was hard to see how much Auntie Dot had deteriorated but it was really good to be able to catch up with Uncle Vernon. Then we went for lunch at Little Creatures and shared some nibbles and drinks.
Thursday night we spent we went for dinner at Keith and Wendy's place. It was really good to catch up with them as well.


Yesterday we had one of the best days since being in Australia. We woke up early and went golfing at Marangaroo with Charlie. Needless to say I am not going to be the next Tiger but we did have fun.


I had a very "only in Australia" moment while golfing as kangaroos with joeys kept hopping across the fairway. Now that was a trip even for someone who lived here three years.

After golf we went to lunch with Nadia, Sean, Nathan and Neve. It was really good to catch up with them again after the wedding. We went to the Windsor in South Perth and despite the heat (there apparently was no air conditioning in the restaurant) shared food, drinks and giggles. We then came home for a quick Underbelly session (an Australian TV show which Lindsay and I have to come home everyday and watch!!) and then it was on to round three, drinks at Caz and Birdie's. We went to their house in Kinross which is very nice and they had invited all the old crew round. Many a drink went down and there are many shocking photos!! :) As great as it was catching up with all our close friends yesterday it did make me miss being in Perth.

One week to go *tear*.....
