This is the distance travelled, minus about 480km as I didn't think to re-zero the trip counter until we were already well into the trip, so about 3200km round trip in total!
I dropped the crew off at the airport and said goodbye (for a while) to most of them, a couple I'd see on Monday. After they passed security this is how my day went:
Breakfast at the airport:
I managed to catch up with the owner of this ride:
And what a ride we had! Paul took me to the hospital again to catch up with my family friend. Paul was good enough to wait for me in the carpark when I managed to take twice as long as planned - so I shouted lunch even though Paul tried to fight me over it. He took me to a joint in Freo - some great views out there!
And lunch:
After lunch we cruised around some more before heading out to Subarino's where I was going to catch up with him and Mrs Subarino as well as crash at theirs for the night. Unfortunately we had a bit of a mis-hap along the way so we found the nearest bar, as you do:
Subarino came to pick me up and 90Brumby (Tristan) helped Paul out. While we were waiting the call of nature naturally kicked in where I found this awesome mural:
I couldn't help but get another couple of pics of the yellow beast - this is the one to share:
After his my camera remained pretty idle. It was great catching up with everyone in Perth - I met Taza, saw his foz for real (with it's cheeky 2.5L badge on the back of it) - camera was in the boot, planned that one well...
Saturday the Subarinos drove me to the airport and saw me off. I had a great flight home - best one yet! Qantas really are a great company to fly with, this being my second time! Vic weather as little to be desired to what I'd experienced in the two weeks before heading home!
It was great to be home, catching up with Mrs El Freddo, getting back into the swing of things at work and trying to sort out this jet lag that I was totally not expecting! Been an interesting week so far, hopefully the rest of the term is smooth sailing, we'll see!
Mrs El Freddo has agreed to a big trip out west in 2017 (I think!), it'll be a half lap as such, but I'm looking forward to it. Maybe we'll sneak in a cheeky trip across that Nullabor before then, who knows!
I hope you've all enjoyed reading the thread or at least drooling over the images! Thanks for following!
