So I arrive in Perth after flying over from Hong Kong on the Sunday night, a 8 hour flight this time, and I got some extra leg room as I was sat in the emergancy exit area so that was pretty cool, the girl at the desk said I could sit there if I helped out in an emergancy, I thought I’ll probably be asleep the whole way so who cares!

The only problem was it was an old plane so no interatve movie choice this time!

Anyway I get to Perth, and Julie comes to pick me up at the airport and head back to their place, I didn’t sleep much on the plane nor on my last night in HK so Im very tired, but Battle through the day to go to bed at a normal time…

That first day is spent with a whirl wind tour of Perth, which is a really nice city, really clean and looks great!

Then I attend the wedding rehersal with them out in Swan Vally where they are getting married, Its so hot and im so tired, Im beginging to think Its all gone a bit pear shaped,

But in no time we are in a brewery called Mash which is great beer brewed on site which is fantastic, and some great food…Im realy falling asleep now though.

That night I sleep for 13 hours…about time too !

Tuesday

Today we shoot off to one of their local beaches they seem to live between Perth centre

So first swim in the sea, at Cottosloe beach really warm with fine golden sand, and clear warm water, Great!

We finish the day with a traditional Aussie Barbie…but not a shirp in sight, just steak & beer…by this time im beginging to think their beers kick ours into touch!

Wednesday

Do nothing as I feel like crap, didn’t sleep to well the night before, and did a work out leaving me feeling awful all day, so im in the lounge with the air con, and a few dvd’s 

Thursday

The others arrive from England mainly from Hull…so spend the day chatting to them and having a few drinks.
The wedding pace is picking up so its fever pitch with Best men and Bridesmaides flying about the place!

The bride to be and all her entourage disapeer leaving the boys to have a mini bucks night with menay beers and another Barbie.

Friday

The Wedding….all get up about mid day and get ready…

It all kicks off at about 4, so it’s started to cool off a touch; the wedding is pretty good, with the service on the lawn at a big country house next to the river…nice spot!

The Groom

Then we board this huge boat for the reception wich is realy cool…free beer too!!

So it’s a great party and we al have a really cool time, and Im chatting away to everyone, having quite a lot of beers.
Even met a really cool girl there who I was having a laugh with pretty much all of the night!
