Tuesday morning and we are heading for
the airport – Debbie had booked one of her friendly taxis for us
and Gabriel did an excellent job getting us to the airport through
the morning rush.
The Tigerair flight to Perth was prompt
and comfortable – they have copied the good parts of Ryanair and
managed to ignore some of O'Leary's more annoying practices –
despite some of his recent changes.
Perth is another city which seems to be
in a continual state of redevelopment – new airport terminals, new
access roads, and lots of new highrise buildings downtown –
although they appear to crowding out some of the better parts of the
waterfront.
Our hotel is in the City Centre and we
were grateful for the air-conditioned refuge from the 38ºC
on the shady side of the street – no standing around in the sun
here! Luckily we had chosen the Deluxe room which meant that there
was no danger of the cat cracking his skull on the way round, but
only just.
We
managed a quick walk around the city to identify the major landmarks
followed by a cooling ale, some fish and chips and an early night –
need to catch up on some sleep after 5 nights in Singapore.
