Project Perth Travelogue Day 8

Woke up early today at 0600hrs to get the morning light for our wedding photo shoot. The lighting was good but the weather was cold cold cold!

My wife changed into the gown at the lodging and we took a short ride to the jetty. I didn’t take any of my own shots there and it’s too cumbersome to bring the camera.

We did at a pretty fast paced and finish everything within an hour.

We had our hearty breakfast back at the observatory and started to move our luggage into the car.

One last shot at the observatory before we head for Perth.

The ride toward Perth was quite long which took about three hours plus.

Finally we are back to the city. But somehow I had mixed feelings.

All along I thought I’m a city person as I preferred cosmopolitan city beaming with life and how easy it was for me to look for a decent toilet to do my business, but right now I’m already starting to miss the wilderness that only rural areas could offer.

Anyway we stopped by at Fremantle before we proceed to Perth.

After the long ride, we were checking out their toilets to ease our bladders.

Crossing a railway track toward the fishing boat harbour.

Fishing harbour at Fremantle. Sculptures reflected how life used to be at the harbour.

Yacht docking at the harbour.

The two more popular seafood restaurant down at Fremantle were probably the Cicerello’s Seafood Restaurant and Kailis Fish Market Cafe, but we chose Kailis due to a recommendation that we saw in a forum.

Cicerello’s Seafood Restaurant by the harbour.

After I ordered the food from Kailis, I was given a device which will beep once the food is ready. Pretty cool eh.

People enjoying their food under the shade with a tint of cool breeze.

Finally our food came and again the portion is MADNESS!!!

These which looks like mini lobsters to me are called Yabbies. Very fresh and juicy.

After our lunch, we went down to the Fremantle Markets.

We met up with David and Yang Hui at Dome and proceed to check in to Medina Barracks. We saw the entrance of the hotel but couldn’t find the place to park the car. After circling the place for a while, Yang Hui dropped off from the car and check with the staff inside.

Finally, we managed to locate the carpark after Yang Hui checked with the staffs. Upon entering the carpark, we stumbled on this funny sign. Probably will look funny to Singaporeans only, wat’s PCC in Perth anyway?

The lodge was good, very spacious and clean. It was equipped with washing machine and dryer as well! As David and Yang Hui need to go out to meet their friends in Perth, my wife and I took the opportunity to clean every single piece of clothing that we had.

Later into the night, David and Yang Hui was back from their dinner, we had our Leeuwin Estate Frog Series Reisling while we watched Tv. After a while I was knocked out on the sofa.
