WA

We're here in sunny Western Australia.

Uneventful flight into Perth following nonsense at Adelaide airport where the Cafe stops serving breakfast at 10:00. How fucking stupid is that? Oh well, not the first time we've had junk for the first meal of the day.

The Emerald hotel is OK - our room has a shit view (of a brick wall), but the shower is powerful and they had Postman Pat on the TV so mustn't grumble really.

Today Hoops & I have ventured down the Fremantle - nice place. We've done the prison and the maritime and motor museums.

Ali's just text to say that her and the boys are on the ground in London, so I guess for them the holiday really is over.

Third Test starts tomorrow, so it's going to be cricket, cricket, cricket again for a few days.

If you're that close, Rottnest Island is a must-see. Great ferry ride out, and you can even book a ride back to the mainland.

While you're ther, if they still make it, find a boutique beer called"Dogbolter". It's dark and definitely all-malt. Possibly the best Australian beer, even though it lacks the South Australian Cooper's label (and here's me who comes from neither SA or WA, but NSW instead). Mind you, Victoria Bitter or Queensland's XXXX are good mass-market brews, but you have to realise that most Australian beers MUST be made to be consumed cold. Just keep clear of the Foster's lolly-water.
