Our last days in Perth
Since Rottnest Island both of us have been busy working and trying to save as much money as possible. We took on as many shifts as we could and accepted overtime when the opportunity was there. Unfortunately this meant working different shifts from each other. We did all the local touristy things around Perth and spent as many days as we could at the beach on our days off together. Before we knew it our 3 months were over and we were packing up our room. With work complete we decided to have all of our friends and housemates that we met in Perth over for a BBQ. On Friday night we had a great time with our friends, lots of food and of course booze. Pretty much everyone is able to make it, Brigid and Mark (our housemates/Irish friends), Jonah and Louise (new housemates), Michelle and Adam (our new Canadian friends from Ottawa!), Zoe (no Ben) and Charmaine (friends we met through the hospital) and some of Brigid and Marks Irish friends too. We all ate well and had a great night. Saturday the 31st of January we woke up and cleaned up the house/back yard, packed up the van with all our clothes and food. It was a very hot day, and in retrospect we should have started to pack earlier. But nonetheless we had the van packed by late afternoon, said our good byes to Brigid and Mark and headed to Karrinyup Waters Caravan Park for the night. Karrinyup is a very nice caravan park in Perth, our site was right in front of a pond with lots of duck, swans etc. After a busy day of packing in the heat we were just happy to crash for the night.
