Time to go

After 3 weeks in WA, we are on our way to the airport today for our flight to Phuket and the next stage of our trip.

We left Augusta on Saturday and drove up the coast - stopped at Cape Naturaliste to see the lighthouse, then had an hour or so on the beach at Eagle Bay. Lunch at Busselton and walk to the end of the jetty - 1.8km. Busy place as they were getting ready for the Jetty swim on Sunday - about 800 swimmers covering the 3.6km course.

Got back to Kirsty's place in Fremantle in time for a shower and a glass of fizz before heading to North Freo and a new restaurant - Habitue - which had been written up in the weekend supplement and had crowds of people queuing down the street. Luckily we managed to get a table and had an excellent meal.

Sunday morning on the beach at Cottesloe while Tessa was at Surf Club - the place was heaving with kids of all ages along with the local equivalent of the 'Soccer Moms' -but still room to swim without too many interruptions.

Beach resort at Khao Lak tonight if all goes to plan.
