We are in Perth!

Yesterday we landed in Perth after a long flight with a 3 hour delay at Schiphol, due to technical problems. Luckily we still made our connection at Kuala Lumpur. We are in a temporary apartment for one month, right in the centre of Perth. The first morning we were quite jetlagged, but that was where this day was intended for. We just made it in time to pick up our rental car before closure of the office. After that we strolled along the highstreets and sat down outside for lunch and a perfect cappucino enjoying the lovely sunny weather. In daytime, it is 20 degrees and still winter - warmer than Holland this summer, though the evenings are chillier than in Holland. Downtown is very lively on a Sunday afternoon, quite a few street musicians, and a lot of people. It took quite a while at the grocery store queue. The grocery store - Woolworth's - looked a lot like the ones in London so we felt at home.

Yesterday evening we went to the restaurant area at Northbridge. Many diffent restaurants there: a lot of different Asian restaurants, Italian, Turkish, pub food, nice wine bars, and many Dutch 'eetcafe' style restaurants. We settled for kangaroo steaks, Australian cheeses and Western Australian Shiraz at a nice wine bar. We think we can get used to this life...
