...and then there were two!

Day 1 : Singapore - Perth - Sorrento

My biggest worry about this entire holiday was the plane ride. I mean, how many times have you had to stop yourself from throttling the screaming kid in 38C? We must have done something right in our lives because on our way to Perth, DN slept for the first 2 hours of the flight and on the way back, he slept for the last 2 hours. On the way back, I even managed to watch an entire movie! WAH!

As far as possible, I've created links to the places we stayed at / visited. Click on these places if you're keen to find out more about them. ;)

0930 :: Plane takes off and DN takes his morning nap
1130 :: DN wakes up and has lunch. On his Kids Tray, there's fish fingers & chips, a pack of juice, Yan Yan strawberry dip & sticks, chocolate covered jellies, cheese & crackers and fruit. Gee. I'm requesting for the Kids Meal the next time I fly.
1645 :: We arrive in Perth, declare all the baby food we brought over, collect our car from Hertz (we got a Hyundai Elantra) and drive to North Beach. DN takes his 2nd nap in the car.
1745 :: Check into the Sundowners Ocean View Motel. It's not a fancy place, but we figured it'll do for one night. We were going to check in late and leave by 10am the next day after all.
1830 :: Drove 5 minutes to Hillarys Boat Harbour for a walkabout and quick dinner. All the shops are closed though, humph. Walked around for a bit, then decided to go to a supermarket instead.
1945 :: We have dinner in the room - fish & chips takeaway for us and Pigeon instant porridge and chips (he nicked some off us) for DN.
2100 :: Story time and bed for DN.

Groceries :: AU$19 (apples, plums, apricots, water, raisin bread, chips)
Dinner :: AU$11 (fish & chips, salad)
Accomodation :: AU$125
Car Rental (8 days) :: AU$500

The minute we got into the room, DN started exploring, opening all cupboards and drawers, taking things in and out.


In one of the drawers he opened, we found these! We thought it was the motel that left them for us (we asked for a cot), but it turned out that they were left behind by another family. DN loved the books so we took them along for the trip.
