Perth

ai ai ai where to start!!!!! We can't quite believe a week has almost gone by. So here's how our week panned out so far.....
Day 1 - A little bleary eyed but very excited (tiff probably a little more hyper than lizzy!) we explored perth, tiff armed with her guide book gave a tour of the best sites, much to the amusement of other hostellers. However, this did mean that we stumbled upon the old fire station where an old man took a shine to us and let us dress up as firemen and climb aboard the old fire truck....it was a good look, oh and showed us how to use the hose - no water was pumped through it though :( 
Day 2 - Rottnest Island!!!! We took a thrilling ferry ride over to this beautiful island (Iggle piggle included...pictures on his page!) and hired bikes to ride around the island. Thankfully we went with the company offering breakdown assistance as 5k in, Lizzy had a puncture! We cycled right to the end, up and down and up and down and up and down hills (Lizzy is emphasising this bit!!)  and spotted a colony of seals having fun in the water...very cute :) On the way back Lizzy managed to have the chain fall off her bike but don't fear, we managed to fix this one without the help of breakdown! You'll also be pleased to know that we came away from the experience unharmed..well unless you count the humungous bruise on Tiff's leg which I'm pretty sure was when the bike fell on me!
Day 3 - Chilled out day in Freemantle...picniked in the park, wandered the markets, stopped by a chocolate cafe (yes that's right!) for a drink and cake. On the way home Tiff declared she was missing exercise and wanted to go for a swim (not sure what she thinks we did yesterday??? 22km bike ride not exercise???) so Tiff headed to the local pool for a dip before we had a fun evening of monopoly deal with our room mate (cup of tea and timtams in hand!!! - living it up on a friday night i tell you!!!)
That's enough for now....stay tuned for up and coming adventures :) Love Tiff and Lizzy xx
