Back where I once was

Here's a pic for all the people I know will appreciate it - rainy London!
I seem to be back in the UK, having barely posted about not being in the UK, which is a shame because I was not in the UK alot. The thing is, of course, not being in the UK meant either being off doing things, or else being too tired after doing things... But I have four days in London (well, three now), and although I must do some work and various chores, I will try and post some pics, cos I had a lovely time and ended up visiting five different countries too. Yeay travelling!

Oh, have the view from my window tonight too... And the bliss of it being cool!

*g* It's nice and convenient!

And ooh, any recommendations for Perth would be fab! So those two beaches.... I'm thinking of hiring a car cos I fancy going down to Jewel Caves, but is there lots of fab city stuff to do without one...?

Oh yes you'd need a car in order to explore better the area north of Perth. If I remember correctly, I could use public transport (from the central coach station in Perth) to go as far as Fremantle, City Beach (for this one also a standard bus was available, vs a coach), Cottesloe and Scarborough (which also has great coastline). But I don't remember being able to go further north, e.g. to North Beach or Sorrento, with public transport.

I also went on a 5-day coach tour once, out of Perth, to visit as far as Shell Beach and Coral Bay (both magnificent). The drive was quite long, and I preferred an organized tour because didn't fancy driving on my own on those isolated (and sometimes without mobile reception) highways. But the other side of the medal was, naturally, I wasn't free to stay and go in one place as long as I wanted... :)
In Perth don't miss the Botanic Gardens. Not only are they beautiful but they are in a panoramic, hilly location with great views!
