We started our day with a trip to the post office because Belle wanted to send out a few postcards to her friends from Perth - a little tip for those who loves getting souvenirs from overseas. Why not send them postcards? Personalized and meaningful! Just to be sure to get it sent from the city / country you're at to get the location's stamp on the postcard!

We didn't have much planned for that day. We did some sight seeing on the other side of CBD but was done with it sooner than we thought! And what sucks the most was that the weather wasn't on our side again on that day. It rained most of the time we were outside.

Besides the bad weather, I was having a bad hair and face day! Ugh.

Eggs Benedict (AUD17)

Spotted this narrow alleyway which looks soooo pretty! Totally forgot to find out the name of this place / nearby landmarks!

Langley Park

Perth Mint

Stay tuned for Day 4 aka the final post for Perth!

Vlog:

On our second full day in Perth, we decided to spend it in Fremantle! As excited as we were to visit this little town, it rained the entire time we were there. We enjoyed the best we could despite the weather. So, reminder: REMEMBER TO CHECK THE WEATHER FORECAST DURING YOUR PLANNING! 

We took the train from Perth Station to Fremantle Station via the Fremantle Line. Train routes and maps are all available on http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au! They have a smartphone application too for easier and quicker access! In Perth Station, the SmartRider card can be obtained from a shop call Lucky Charm. 

In Fremantle, there are free shuttle services called the RED and BLUE CAT. While we were waiting for the shuttle, we realized that one of the main street called Market Street was located right opposite the train station. Hence, we forego the shuttle and started walking towards it. 

Fremantle Wesley Uniting Church

Fremantle Town Hall

Australia's 7-Eleven Hot Chocolate for the win!

Came across this bookstore along Cappuccino Strip and there's something about it that made me intrigued by it for someone who doesn't read much. Haha.

And then there's this! Was tempted to get one but I didn't. Technically, on the wrappers, it gives you a hint of the genre of the book without revealing the actual title. An interesting way of keeping the book mysterious!

Fremantle Market...

...which was closed on the day we went. The picture above shows perfectly how 'well' our day was going with the rainy and windy weather.

Scots Presbyterian Church

Fremantle Prison.

There are tours available for purchase at the gate.

Esplanade Park!

Bathers Beach:

We had lunch in Kailis' Fish Market as recommended by Google.

Tip (and I strongly encourage you to follow) : Never ever sit outside with fish & chips if you spot seagulls nearby!

Being jakuns from Malaysia, we wanted to enjoy the cold air as much as we could and opted for an outdoor seat for lunch. As we were eating, we realized that more and more seagulls started crowding us and Belle even had to shoo some of them away! I started to get frightened and suggested that we finish our lunch as soon as we can and get out of the place. The moment we stood up and walked away, the bunch of seagulls started attacking our leftover chips and it created such a scene!

After lunch, we decided to head back to Perth as the weather didn't seem to be improving at all and we were freezing!

Stay tuned for Day 3!
