It really is back to reality tomorrow after what feels like six weeks of bumming around; two weeks in Dunsborough over Christmas, then a little bit of supervisor-free work before the onslaught of English visitors. Nick arrived two days after Amy returned to Melbourne and I've had a glorious week off giving him what I consider to be a pretty comprehensive coverage of the Perth area:
Wednesday 22nd
Met Laws in the city at lunchtime
Beers, pool and tennis coverage at the pub in Cottesloe
Thursday 23rd
Beach day on Cottesloe
Fish and Chips
Train to Fremantle
Cheap dinner at the Old Shanghai
Mini-tour of Freo's pubs, including Little Creatures
Friday 24th
England vs Australia: 4th one-day test at the WACA (we won!)
Felt dirty riding the free bus to the station with the scum of the earth
Saturday 25th
Rottnest Island: Cycling, snorkelling, sunbathing, ice cream
Takeaway pizza (slobs)
Sunday 26th
Breakfast at Cimbalino (new favourite place: incredible Eggs Benedict)
Australia Day shenanigans
Monday 27th
Tried not to die at the hands of the world's worst hangover
Dragged ourselves off the sofa to get lunch at Dome
Takeaway thai
Very very very early night
Tuesday 28th
More amazing breakfast
Anchorman 2 at the Moonlight Cinema, King's Park
Wednesday 29th
Beach day
Beers on the sofa in front of the first Eng vs Aus T20 (we lost)
Fancy dinner and a lot of red wine at Vans
Thursday 30th
More brekky (Eggs Florentine)
Train into the city
Cheers and gone Lawsy!
The moral of the story = I spent a lot of money and drank a lot of alcohol, but it was so nice to see a Cornish face and enjoy the sights. Turning my attention away from entertaining friends and towards work will be a great shock to the system after all this time cruising, but I've had an awesome December/January and feel like it was the break I needed to throw myself back into it.
