1st day in Perth

Well I have 5 mins before my internet time runs out so Phil suggested I update my blog. We arrived into a very hot Perth yesterday evening (Phils and the Australians think its cold for this time of year but I'm melting!) We spent the evening having a BBQ with some of his school friends and then fishing on the beach. Never seen such a big BBQ before, or the southern star... (Or spending so long on a beach with a fishing rod and getting no fish.)

Today we've looked round a very clean and modern city (most of the old buildings have been knocked down - I wonder when they'll regret that?!?), saw Phils old school and walked round the parks. I've also just purchased an Australian pay as you go mobile. It was quite an effort finding one with coverage in the areas we're going and trying to understand the price plans... Its amazing how simple things like mobile phones differ so much from country to country - you'd think the arrangements would be similar wherever you go - but no ;) Oh well all bought now.

Oh well times up - we're off to the beach :) more soon...
