Back In Perth

One of the hassles of travelling and trying to maintain a blog page is good consistent internet access and the time to manipulate photos etc. Bloody predictive text on this tablet doesn't help either!

So blog entries become inconsistent.

We are back at Kim's in Perth after several days at Margaret River. It is cool, windy and showery. It was not possible to run the Busselton Jetty train yesterday on our way back to Perth because of the weather. The Busselton Jetty is almost 2kms long and the return train ride as well as visiting the Observation Deck at the end of the jetty is a major attraction for the area.  The rough seas ruined the views from the Observation Deck and the gusty wind made the train trip dangerous.

We had a couple of winery visits, and checked out Busselton and Mandurah on the drive home yesterday (Thursday).

Today is some washing, check out some shops and sort things after a week here in WA. We catch up with Eddie and Patsy who arrive for the cruise from Melbourne today for a meal in the City.  They fly in this afternoon.

So I am not sure when the next post will be, most likely somewhere or some port on the next section of our trip.

We have Bigpond as our ISP so we can access Telstra Air and use either official Telstra Air sites or access the wireless modem of other Bigpond users for WiFi internet access while out and about.   If I sit near our bedroom windows and hold my tongue a certain way I can get Telstra Air off someone nearby as a part of my Bigpond account.

I have added a photo to this post. It is a photo of one of the wineries near picturesque Margaret River.

We have been out this morning to do a little shopping. With it being so windy and the prospect of lumpy seas Travacarm seasick tablets seemed a wise backup move.

Kim's apartment looks a little like a Chinese Laundry while we try to dry stuff on this coolish Friday.
