Ray had planned a cycle ride this morning and proposed to catch a bus to About Bike Hire at Fraser point to pick up his bike. However, when we woke up it was already 30C and forecast to reach 36C by late morning. Cycling plans were sensibly abandoned and we settled for a leisurely breakfast and a stroll down to Elizabeth Quay keeping in the shade most of the way.
The temperature was still rising so we retreated to the air conditioned luxury of our hotel for a couple of hours. Ray then studied the bus routes and concluded that a proposed visit to Kings Park was possible using one air conditioned bus. The 935 stops every 10 minutes just 100 yards from our hotel so off we went and the very efficient Transperth Transport arranged for the bus to arrive within 2 minutes. We were surprised at the extent of the hill climb up to Kings Park but once there, were rewarded by spectacular views over Perth and the Swan river.
When we visited Perth four years ago, we found an excellent Thai restaurant named Wok and Ladle. It was decided to eat there again and luckily the 935 bus stopped just about 200 yards from the restaurant. The food was wonderful and every bit as good as we remembered. A number of Thai people came for take aways which is always a good sign. It reminded us of the many excellent Thai restaurants in Chiswick, where good authentic food was served at low prices. Unassuming and typical street food, Wok and Ladle was great, delicious food and tremendous value.
We will be sad to leave Perth in the morning, a fine city in beautiful surroundings.
