Fremantle

Spending the next few days in Freo. Just to get settled again and sort out shopping and organise the van. The weather has been spot on 🌞
After picking the van up Tuesday afternoon we headed to Fremantle. The CP is called th3 village and its really close to the beach which is perfect. Yesterday we walked along the beach path all the way into Little Creatures fir a bevvy then the way back. We went back later in the afternoon to little creatures and had a parmi at The National Hotel. Freo is nice but in the town bit it is quite obvious there is a big drug problem which is a bit sad 😔Read more

March 10, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Today we finished off a few jobs like grocery shopping, laundry etc. We also purchased a generator for when it will get super hot up north so we can use the air conditioner.
Later in the afternoon we went to the glowing rooms as it was right where I caravan park was. They had 3d glowing mini golf and escape rooms. We played the 3d mini golf so much fun...but I had to let Shane win of course 😂 the sunset tonight was so pretty..we missed seeing it from the beach but it was absolutely gorgeous so many shades of pink 💗Read more
