The Holiday Chronicle: Perth, Australia

Hi all,

So now it's my turn to type. Sharing you lot bits of Perth, Australia.

Oh my I can't remember whether I flew in with MAS or AirAsia. Hahaha =D Yes, the trip was made more than a year ago, without my husband.

Accommodation

I stayed in a studio apartment which I seriously forgot the name. But it is just next to the Pan Pacific. It is not that far from the city center. I even walked together with my parents to the city center.

For those who cannot walk that much, do not fret. Free shuttle is available y'all!

Transportation

Free transit is provided in the city und it is called Central Area Transit, CAT. The same TransPerth train ticket can be used for TransPerth bus as well. How convenient is that eyh.

To Freemantle, either by train or cruise. Instead of just paying AUS$3.80 per person (by TransPerth train) my father paid AUS$25 per person for a one way cruise ride.

The reason why we took the cruise; wanted to witness Perth's millionaires' row.

Millionaires' row by the river.

A park in Freemantle.

The Bell Tower

We took the free shuttle to go round the city and stopped at multiple locations. But since our accommodation is quite near to the Bell Tower, we walked instead.

We even went extra miles to visit the Aquarium of Western Australia, AQWA. Superb!

AQWA

Magnificent!

Tickle tickle =D

Dare to touch?

Food
There are many restaurants to dine in but not many of halal ones. Food is quite pricy in Perth compared to UK. A roll of lamb kebab is AUS$9.80 = RM31.16 but in UK a lamb kebab is only about £4 = RM20. A pack of two pieces of uncooked salmon fillets is priced at approximately AUS$13 = RM41.34 but in UK it is only £6 = RM30.

Edible seafood fried rice and fried noodle in the city.
But not as tasty as home cooked ones.

Since our unit had a decent size kitchen with cooker and all, we did some groceries and prepared simple dinner. We shopped for ingredients at Woolworth. We went crazy over Arnotts chocolate cookies!
