Australia, Day 7

Day 7, Wednesday, February 10 2010
———————————-

The next day we saw that there was really nothing that could be done and thankfully our hostel wasn’t a problem to change our

booked days to a day earlier, so we did that, and after about an hour on the phone our flights were also changed to a day

earlier costing each of us an added $220. This meant we would already be leaving on the 11th of February to do the Uluru trip

on the 12th of February.

The Uluru trip we booked via our hostel and this worked perfectly. They even asked if I there were any dietary needs and so I

could say I was vegan. Sounded cool and we were looking forward to our trip!

After all this trouble we then took the bus and train into Perth City. There we met Kevin who came out of his office and

showed us a nice view from one of their rooms overlooking the city and then we had lunch together. Lunch we had in a nice

little side street called London Street or so and was made to look like old London. Many little souvenir shops and little

cafés were everywhere in this street.

After lunch Kevin showed us an interesting feat of Perth; in Perth you can take a 4 way crossing diagonally as a pedestrian.

This is something really funny, but in this situation all the pedestrian lights are green in all 4 directions so one can go

through the middle of the road. Afterwards Kevin left us to go back to work and Iris and I went on sightseeing the city.

Our walk took us all along up to Kings Park where there was a beautiful view over Perth City itself. Perth is quite a nice

looking city. It is small enough to still somehow stay personal, yet is still a real city and has a nice sky line.

After a nice long walk through Perth we went back home where we immediately jumped into the pool and had a nice cool down.

Keving and Brian came home with some nice pizzas which really were delicious!

After dinner we packed everything so that in the morning we would not have to rush this. The evening was soon over and we

turned in and had a good nights sleep.
