Day 22 - Perth Last Day
Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 07:46AM Ok so today we went to a real Farmers Market, it was in Subiaco just near where we are staying. There was fresh fruit, veggies, meat, fish, Breakfast…. The Brekky Burger I had was awesome & a big glass of home made lemonade. Simon & Kristine, forget Yering…. Get to Subiaco on Saturday mornings! I had an Organic Wholemeal Baguette with Maple Smoked Bacon, Tomato, Basil, Lettuce and Mayo…Mmmmm! And I drank most of James’ lemonade.
We bought a T Bone & a porterhouse steak which we had for tea tonight, it was organic, grain fed, chemical free. And then cooked to perfection by my wife…. It was amazing! Sorry to all the Vegies out there, you don’t know what you are missing out on. We also bought a yummy blend of Fetta, Ricotta and Grain Mustard that we put on top of the steak….double Mmmmm!!
Busy day today…. Farmers market this morning, tour of Perth this afternoon, Catch up with Flick & Emma this evening…. We were going to catch up with Marc too but just ran out of time! Sorry Marc. So it will be a short blog today. Will call you tomorrow Marc….day just disappeared. Sorry.
Did manage to watch Jamie Whincup win the V8 race in Darwin today though, he is good. I am a fan of his teammate Lowndes, I can remember watching him as a 19yr old race at Bathurst for the first time. He did good too, he started in 20th position & finished in 4th! Not bad huh, do any of you watch the V8’s?
Tomorrow we are going back to the van….. Yeah!!! I’ve missed it, as much as the extra space of the unit is good…. It is more homely in the van. Now if only we get back before the 2nd V8 race!
For those of you who have not been to Perth…. You should get here, it is a very nice city. The Swan river is beautiful & there seems to be a really good network of bike & walking paths. Ness & I both commented on the number of people riding bikes & walking or running. The slogan for this place should be “Perth… the Healthy City.”
Speak to you all tomorrow.
Hey apologies to all of you for having to type stupid codes into the blog to reply, last time we did this you didn’t have to do it, but with advances in technology they have been getting more & more spam on these sites so it is supposed to cut it down.

Sue our neighbour has agreed to be our resident Botanist on the trip…. Meet you soon Sue!
Unca Rob & Unca Juan have commenced their amazing trip, they are currently in Dubai on the way to everywhere! They have offered to add to Annie’s shoe collection when they get to Italy with a nice pair of Italian leather shoes….. Thanks! I’ll keep a lookout for a pair of Pink Ugg boots in your size Rob…. You can use them to cry in when Collingwood get beat AGAIN!

Did it again! Slept right through the night & Mum & Dad were sooooo happy with me. When I get older & go out & stay up late, or get into trouble….. I know that all I have to do is sleep through the whole night & all will be forgiven…. They will be happy with me again!
Went to another farmers market today…. Boring! Mum & Dad both said this one was better than the other ones we have been to, but once you have seen one tent with eggs, veggies & fruit you have seen them all!
Saw my friend Flick tonight & her daughter Emma….that was fun, Flick wanted to teach me to Fart? But I don’t know what that means. Maybe you can teach me to swim instead Flick?
We are going back to the box on wheels tomorrow, I’m happy about this…. Then Mum & Dad will be in the same 4 walls as me, when we were in this hotel they slept in a separate room and always shut the door at night…. I wonder what they were doing in there? And I wonder why we stayed here for four nights?
Goodnight all

Hey Annie
The last trip was the Caravan of Love tour and this time round you could be cramping the style a bitt (even sleeping through the night liek the angel you are!). You don't need to know why they closed the door for at least anotehr 25 years xxxxx
Thanks for not disappointing me again James with your magpie slinging and living up to the Tall Poppy syndrome...
Any hoo, must have been the day for markets have a look at the shots I posted of our stroll thru some in Antibes today!
Forget Yering you say, nooooooooooo. In actual fact we will have to, we are moving to Sydney in 4 weeks. Flemington Craft Market and Yering will be sorely missed.
I'm trying to catch up on all your posts, sounds like you are having a great time.
