AEP Perth Trip 24 - 29 NOV '07

Day 1


Flight (to Perth, Australia)


I sat one seat away from the window seat, next to a Sec 2, Caroline. Lunch was quite horrible - some lemony pasta that everyone was too disgusted to finish. I manged to finish watching two movies (only) - Shrek 3 and The Simpsons Movie. The Simpsons Movie was really funny and Shrek 3 was not quite to my liking. As we were descending, the plane kept making really weird lurches and lunges. Every lurch was like a sudden dip downwards that made me feel like my seat was going down faster than my butt could follow. And each time it lurched, all the AEPers were like WHOOOOOO! Hahahaha, it was so funny :D Plus, that plane ride was the first for some girls, and they were pretty terrified.

Raeburns Orchard


After we touched down, collected our luggage and so on, we got on board our coach and was warmly greeted by our friendly tour guide/driver, Trevor. We travelled for nearly an hour to Raeburns Orchard, where we purchased fruits, jams, chocolates and gummies.

70 Pier Street, Aarons Hotel


We settled down in our rooms. The room Pinky, Nisha and I shared was room 212. It was not a very big room but it was comfy (: Later on, we walked to an Indonesian restaurant where we had dinner. & then it was back to our rooms for the night. (the aircon was really, really colddd.)

Day 2

Breakfast

We had breakfast at the cafe in our hotel. It was a huge breakfast though not very appetising but satisfactory - toast bread with jam, honey, and butter that was self-service, as well as two poached eggs, two hashbrowns, ham and bacon which was extremely oily and only the hashbrown was fine. & we were told we would be having that as breakfast each day :O

Fremantle

We visited Monument Hill where we took many pictures and camwhored a lot, Cappuccino Strip which is a street that got its name as all the coffee houses on that street set up tables and chairs along the pavements, Fremantle Markets where we shopped for two hours and the Round House which used to be a prison and was built by ex-convicts. Before visiting the Round House, we had a really excellent Fish & Chips lunch - so crispy and succulent (oily) but still, yumyum (:

Okay, you know what? I'm starting to get a little lazy elaborating on everything. Maybe if I feel like it one day, I'll talk about the rest of this most wonderful trip in detail (: Sorry to disappoint you, faithful readers (if I have any), hahaha (:

Chinese Dinner

We drank soooo much water only because we wanted to see who the waitors would listen (to our calls to refill our empty jugs) & laughter during dinner was way too contagious.
