Shopping and Wow

Yesterday we shopped!!!

We bought bedding, knives, toaster, kettle, hoover, pegs................cuddly toy.......................etc.
The best bargain was the hoover - an ex demo model for $50 (about £20). Still more shopping to do tomorrow and next week for big things like beds fridges BBQ's etc.

This morning I went for a run in Kings Park - Because of the jet lag we are up early, so I was in the park at about 7.00, so other than other joggers and Japanese tourists, I had the park to myself and the parrots, great!

Today we walked about 6 miles over the Narrows bridge to South Perth, along the South bank of the river which is all parkland, and then over the canning bridge past the WACA and up to the Lucky Shag for lunch again (Chilli Mussels, Pizza and Greek Salad).

On the walk we had one word for most things - WOW
- Outside our hotel the Tongan Male Choir were practising
- It chucked it down big style, then stopped and it was sunny and hot
On the south bank of the Swan there is parkland all along with:
- Free electric BBQ's to picnic at
- Lots of manmade lakes with Black Swans, Pelicans, many types of ducks and we saw a water rat
- A Husky sled team meeting, where they use wheeled sleds to exercise the dogs
- Gym equipment including cross trainers and weights free for anyone to use
- A cycle, running, walking track the whole length of the parkland
- A butterfly reserve
- And lots of WOW views.

Remember this is in the middle of the capital city of Western Australia. JUST WOW!!!
