My Travels: September 2011

22 Sept 2011

Parmelia Hilton Perth

My first meal in Perth. Spicy Sausage Sandwich and coffee from 'Croissant Express'

There were plenty of old architecture in Perth, especially churches.

I love old book stores.

Boffins... The bookstore that sells technical books.

My FIRST REAL apple store. Wait.. yes, it was real... I think...

Hay Street

The view from our table in 44 King Street

My first beer... Fat Yak. It was pretty good.

Double duck fat fried fries.

Peking Duck and Mushroom Pizza

View from the room.

Murray Street at night

No Minute Gone Comes Ever Back Again Take Heed And See Ye Nothing Do In Vain

There was the statue of this guy along the intersection of the Mill Street and St Georges Terrace. The Alter Boy in me instinctively needed to place my balls in his hands. I really wanted to take THAT photo, but kept missing the opportunity.

I really did appreciate the old architecture of Perth.

I loved how they combined the old and the new. Instead of tearing down the beautiful old buildings, they incorporated a new modern building on top of it. Something old... Something new.

I saw a bunch of folks surfing along the drive to Fremantle, and I found a place to park and take in the beautiful beach and break.

More beautiful old buildings in Fremantle.

I almost never photograph people (unless they are preparing food), but this was the best shot to show how wonderful the parks are in Perth. I spent many an hour just sitting on a bench, enjoying the sights, reading a book. Just lovely

Plenty of water fountains to be found all around the city.

Steak Sandwich at the Fremantle Bakery

Spring is here.

Beautiful houses along South Beach.

South Beach

In case of Water. use the Water Extinguisher.

Gents in Cicerellos

My first beer in Fremantle, Freo Doc. Not bad. works well with batter fried fish.

One of the signs outside Cicerellos was 'Don't feed the Seagulls'. Those things are really daring. We wanted to sit outside, but decided to move in when we saw how they would just swoop in on occupied tables.
