Off to Adelaide

Sitting at the Perth Domestic airport at the moment, waiting to board our 9:40 am flight to Adelaide. Thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the past few days.

- Friday: Well, the wedding turned out to be fantastic. The weather cleared at the last minute, and the gazebo up in Kings park provided the perfect setting, overlooking the city, and the Swan River. After the ceremony, and whilst the photos were being taken, Ang had organised a tram trip through King's Park for the guests, which was a really good idea as we got to see and learn about some of the history. The reception was then held at Fraser's restaurant - where some good food and wine were consumed during the remainder of the evenings celebrations. Well planned, and executed Ang and Greg.

- Saturday: We set off on Saturday to do the Swan Valley Wine tour. Departed at around 10am, on a ferry, and headed up the Swan river for about 2 hours. We then got off at Caversham Hotel, and boarded a bus, which took us to about 4 wine estates, an ice cream parlour, German brewery, and the Margaret River Chocolate Factory.



Needless to say, by the end of the day, we had drunk enough wine, and eaten enough cheese and other food to last us a while. Very pleasant though...no complaints here. Western Australia certainly does produce some fantastic wines.

- Sunday: K and I headed down to the beach on Sunday morning, and spend some time in the sun, before going into town and checking out some of the shops. We then went for a drink at the Windsor Hotel on Mill Road, went across to AppleCross to watch the sun set, and then spent the evening with K's granny, and Alva (K's mom's cousin). Alva took us to a restaurant called "Thai Corner" - the food was absolutely awesome. We had four or five dishes, ranging from garlic prawns, chicken green curry, sweet and sour noodles, to vegetables and checken and beef kebabs. Really enjoyed the food, and had a great evening.

Well, that about sums it up. Still enjoying the fact that we're on holiday, and that even though it is a Monday morning, we have nothing more to worry about, other than which seats we're going to fight for on the plane - we have the choice of a middle seat, and a window seat. Hmm...wonder who will win this one? Life is good!
