messing about on the river

In November my dad came to visit. He had 4 days in Singapore before arriving in perth for 2 weeks. I had a lot planned but was then struck by some weird stomach bug that lasted a week (Dad managed to entertain himself one day and found his way to the casino, where of course he came back with more money than he started with). And then Bob (the car) died scuppering some of our plans. However, the bikes were the saviours and most days were spent cycling and exploring. Dad did amazingly well, having not been on a bike for probably about 15 years. He was a bit shaky at the start but by the end of the trip was a pro and I admit to not going easy on him!

We had an awesome evening out sailing on the Swan River, thanks to one of Rusty’s work colleagues. We went out on this tiny boat and spent a couple of hours admiring the expensive river side properties and we even saw a dolphin swim by! How cool is that!
