Perth, Western Australia (Day 1)

We took midnight flight to Perth on 6th May. Frankly it wasn't easy to fly without a proper and comfortable seat as we hardly sleep a wink. Luckily we decided to leave my 2 gals with MIL, otherwise they must be suffering for not having a good night sleep through and flow.

We reached Perth airport 5.40 in the morning, after clearing our luggage we have Lye's former boss, Mr.Wong to come over to fetch us and send us to Belmont to collect the car we rent online. Mr.Wong was so surprised that we were be driving directly to south after a tiring night. But we wished to save some rest time. We were refreshed by a cup of coffee and started our journey to Bunsbury. After almost 2 hours drive, we stopped at Mandurah for brunch. It's a nice and very relaxing place to keep us refreshed. We also drove to the Dolphin Quay for some sight seeing after charged with some fresh air.

We continued our journey and finally reached Bunsbury around 3pm. We checked in and took nap before going out again. By the time we woke up it's already 6pm. It's dark like 8pm here.
We walked few street down to find food. Along the street, not many restaurant or cafe were operating. We noticed most of the restaurant will be closing at 8.30pm, so we got to make up our mind before we got nothing for dinner. After dinner it's only 8pm, the night was still young for us. We don't know where to go as all the shop already closed for the day, so finally we decided to buy a drink at a cafe and read some magazine. It's quite scary when you noticed you got nothing to do or nothing meaningful to be carried out as we used to have busy life that we always need more time. On the other hand, we enjoyed our coffee in a cooling night without any hassle of kids around. This is life!

SW, my sister told me that the shops in Sydney would be close very early and there's no where to go at night except pubs.

BTW, about the online shopping, I do shop online for children's products at fabulousmom.com, thebabyloft.com and others which I have forgotten, some bento accessories from nst.my, ebay, etc. Well, so far they deliver.
