Fremantle and friends

6 October 2009

With the 5 hour time difference between Auckland and Perth I was out of the hostel at 7am and caught up with a friend Carla for a juice at 8:15!  With a bit of wandering around to follow, I checked out of the hostel by the required time of 10am and spent most of the day in Fremantle.

Fremantle is a lovely historic port town which is now effectively a suburb.  It is hard to believe a laid back location like that was home to all the rarara of the America’s Cup about 20 years ago.

Kim arrived in the evening.  He had made arrangements for us to bunk with a crew friend at the Hyatt.  Later in the evening, we made a quick visit to the Casino where we joined up to their rewards programme to get cheap meals!
