CAMTRIER

After a 17 hour direct flight from London Heathrow on Quanta’s arrived in Perth. Picked up the hire car and made our way to Pan Pacific hotel. Did a bit of unpacking and then walked to Elizabeth Quay and walked around that nice area. It had changed a bit since we were there in 2009

After a good tour around the area we stopped off for a drink by the Marina and eventually stopped off at a Thai restaurant and had a baramundi dish which was interesting

Afterwards back to hotel for a good recovery early night as jet lag set in

Up early and took a cab to Terminal 3 LHR to catch our 17 hour non-stop flight to Perth. Fortunately still on even though their were issues with attacks on Iran. Lovely flight with Quantas and well worth going on the non stop to arrive in Perth the next day. Nice meal, watched a few videos and off to sleep.

Drove 5 hours up to our friends Alan and Sue in Staines for a catch up and lovely dinner. They even dressed up for us with their Chef’s costume that they received on their cruise with Viking. Great evening and start to the trip
