Fish and Hips

A good nights sleep. Just what we needed after the long flight and that's just what we got! We all fell asleep with the TV on at about 8.30pm.

Next morning though and up around 8.30am and down to breakfast. First thought after a glance at the menu was 'very nice and obviously comes in a solid gold bowl and is served in a luxurious room in which a team of beautiful maidens pander to our every whim including cleaning and even flossing our teeth after the magnificent fare before us'.

My second thought was more 'are these prices right!'

If they were, I would have expected the full treatment listed above, but no, for Calum's breakfast of 2 boiled eggs, bacon and sausage, Jenny's cereal and toast and Les's bowl of melon 42 dollars or about £30.00

We soon realised these prices were normal and it is the same everywhere. Good job we allowed for this before going or it could have ruined the holiday before it started.

Anyway, on to 'Fish and Hips'

We decided to go visit 'Aqwa' (spelt correctly before anyone says it should be Aqua). Aqwa is Australia's largest aquarium and is about 30 minutes up the coast from Perth. It was great, it has the largest underwater tunnel of any Aquarium anywhere, there were no queues and it was no more expensive than any aquarium in the UK.

Not only that, the sun was out and it got positively hot. The aquarium is at a Marina called 'Hillary's Boat Harbour'. It is beautiful and is under development to improve all the time. It has millionaire boats in the Marina and quirky shops and places to eat and drink coffee everywhere. They also have a kids park for little ones and those of Calum's age. Needless to say he went on the climbing wall etc.








After that it was back to The hotel and the free bike hire.
