It's the Little Things

There are many positives of living in this part of the world, and lots of new experiences to be had. But it's the little things that I've most enjoyed during our stay in Perth. 

Thumbing through books in an independent bookstore (much more enjoyable than buying online). Sharing gelato (I use that term lightly, as all I really was allowed was to lick the drips as they ran down the side of the cone). The abundance of new parks to visit with white, not pinky red sand. The sight of water, be it river, beach or small water park. Good coffee and Rudolph red nosed baby cinos (who barely lasted past this photo).

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Holidaying with little ones can be exhausting stuff. Especially when you're trying to make the most of every little minute around middle of the day naps. I started off like a bull at a gate, but I exhausted us three. Tired and cranky kids, makes for tired grumpy me. So the week that started off as a sprint, ended at a snails pace. 

I didn't get to go to some places that I wanted (let's just say a screaming crying toddler who wants to go home NOW in the middle of the David Jones food hall, does not make me want to sit down and relax with sushi and a coffee). And I didn't get to see everybody who I would have liked too, which was disappointing. But I'm sure I'll find myself another reason to visit again soon.

Apologies for the small text, and different texts in the last few posts. Something has changed in my formatting since we've been in Perth (I'll blame the slowest internet reception at our apartment/hotel), and I haven't quite worked out how to fix it!!

  1. i'm so sorry you didn't get to enjoy the DJs food hall, because i was going to that one with you in spirit! it just means you have something to look forward to when you return - and a good reason to return.
    how long does it take to get from where you are to perth? and how do you get there - fly or drive? i have no idea about WA.
    (and blame blogger for your weird formatting - it likes to have little hissy fits every now and then. right now it won't let me reply in my own blog!).

  2. I know, it's definetly frustrating!!!
    You can fly to Perth, which takes just under two hours, or you can drive which takes about 11-12 hours!
