Homeward bound!


Wednesday 3 April  - A final few shots of our Mandurah surroundings before setting off for Perth and a flight back to Singapore.




We had breakfast outside on a beautiful morning.    It was only an hour's drive to Perth so time for a selfie.


Thursday 4 April
Singapore airport was our final overnight stop on the holiday, just to break the journey.  A few things to see as well.  Pippa had told us about the butterfly garden and there's also a sunflower garden.


The butterfly garden was more impressive...




and then in the main concourse, there is an orchid garden.



Apart from this we were amazed at the temperatures...over 30C outside but Mark wore his coat all morning in the lounge while I kept warm by last minute shopping!

We were lucky and left smiling! The river cruise took most of the afternoon and we loved it.  Great views of Elizabeth Quay - fairly new and aimed at the tourist market. The coast line near Freemantle reminds us of  last year's sailing holiday in Croatia There's lots of sporting activity in the Swan River,  paragliding and sailing....these photos  are for Rob T. We saw a couple of dolphins but they did n't hang around long enough to be photographed...or Jane doe...
