Perth - Bold Park & Cottesloe Beach

We woke up at 7am this morning and had breakfast and a coffee. Scott’s family friends Clint and Riley came around at 9am. Scott hadn’t caught up with them for over 10 years as they live south of Perth.

There were a few showers in the morning but thankfully they cleared into a beautiful day. Scott and I decided to drive to Bold Park with both dogs and headed for a walk. We walked up to the lookout first and as the track made of grid mesh I had to carry Percy carefully all the way to the top. It was quite funny watching him at first not want to walk on the track and he definitely didn’t trust me at first when I picked him up. The views were beautiful looking over Perth all the way to Fremantle.

We then started on the Zamia Track and completed a 4.5km loop which had multiple lookouts along the way overlooking the coast with views of Rottnest Island. We then headed back to Dale’s house for lunch and Amelie had a friend over in the afternoon. Scott got roped into playing on the trampoline with the girls and they also had a water fight!

Scott, Byron, Nathan and I went for a drive in the afternoon to Cottesloe Beach. It was quite windy and there were heaps of surfers in the water trying to catch the waves. We walked around the beach before heading across the road to the Cottesloe Beach Hotel. I didn’t feel like an alcoholic drink so grabbed a soda water with lime. It was quite relaxing sitting and relaxing.

I drove back to Dale’s place as I hadn’t drunk anything and tested out my manual driving skills in Perth traffic! Edita was making dinner when we arrived back. It was Scott’s Dads 80th birthday today and he came around at 6pm for dinner as well. Edita had cooked chicken with salad and vegetables. After all the food we had eaten it was so nice to eat lots of vegetables. We watched Happy Gilmore 2 after dinner and had dessert before I fell asleep on Scott.Read more
