But Perth was great! It was really R&R so I had a good break :) Here's three things I really enjoyed!
1) Trip brought me closer to nature.
- The farm stay was a highlight - how I wish we stayed for another night in the beatuiful cottage. The starry night was a surprise as I didn't expect to see so many stars in Perth as we were not in high altitude. But it was really cold and SF wanted to stay indoors - otherwise we could have a cup of hot tea under the stars :)
- It was nice to be woken up by the chirping of the hens, geese, peacocks in the farm (really!) and to wonder around the farm and breathe in the fresh air :) It was nice just sitting at the playground, enjoying the peace around you. And the highlight was the animal-feeding! Think I never had such fun and laughter for a long time :)
2) Did so many things for the first time in the sunniest place in the world (the sun was really strong!)
- Never been to a winery until and tasted so many wines in a day! It was a fun yet strange thing to get really red in the face and my heart racing in the day! :) and yes, cold beer at lunch!
- 4WD (not as exciting as I thought it would be) and sand-boarding (this was fun! wooohooo!)
3) Just being free and easy most of the time.
Starting the day with a good breakfast of coffee and toast. Stopping in the late mornings and late afternoons for coffee now and then. Planning what we wanted to do and changing plans along the way. Getting lost and finding our way around. Talking to the locals (many of them know Singapore!). Sunburning in the day and shivering in the night of Perth. Watching the sunset. And seeing the world goes by...
