Perth & Broome Holiday :: Day 1

Pier 21 Apartments & Pool

Richie dropped us to the airport at 9:00 am and we hopped on the flight to Perth just after 11 o'clock.  








View from the Pool to the Marina on the Swan River

We landed in Perth at about 2:00 pm, picked up a hire car and headed down to Fremantle, where we were staying in some nice apartments called Pier 21, looking over a marina on the Swan River.

We checked in, unpacked and then put our feet up and relaxed with a cuppa for a few minutes, checking out the view from the balcony.



Pier 21 Balcony & View of Marina




The weather was lovely - sunny & warm.  So, we decided to take a drive along the marina and see what we could find.

The Left Bank





Just over the bridge we came across a likely looking pub - The Left Bank - sitting bathed in the afternoon sun and full of people enjoying themselves.








So, we decided to join them!




The Left Bank Courtyard



Wayne ordered a fisherman's platter and a Peroni for tea and I had a cheese board and a nice cold sav blanc.

We wiled away the next few hours on the balcony, watching the boats sail passed and the sun set.  A very nice start to the holiday!
