Fremantle

Back to the airport on Thursday morning to pick up a car - very helpful lady at Herz gave us an up grade to a full size Toyota Camry which looked very smart - but was Black - not very practical in these temperatures. She was very understanding when we asked for something in a lighter colour and swapped us back to our original choice.

Short drive to Kirstie's in Fremantle -although we missed the direct route and had a tour of the centre of town on the way. Her brother Simon and his wife Anne are also staying so it makes for a lively household.

By the time we had lunch and a chat, the temperature had started to drop and we headed to the river for a swim. I followed Tessa and Eric up onto the rocks - just to watch them jumping-  but ended up to close to the edge with a crowd below - encouraged by Kirstie -shouting for me to jump! The water was great - once I got there.
