Perth and Back, Day 2

August 2

This was out rest day, and what a wonderful day it turned out to be. When we awoke, it was cloudy and a bit cool. But by the time we had had our breakfast, it had warmed to a pleasant temperature. We walked the three blocks to the grocery store to get some provisions for the trip back, the visited a few other stores, before stopping for lunch at a little diner in the main business area.

After that, we had a very pleasant afternoon sitting in Stewart Park, by the Tay River. We read, and after a while, I went for a walk about the park and a bit into town. The sky was a lovely blue, the air was just the right temperature, and life couldn’t have been much better.

Joel and I actually had a swim in their pool. It was really a nice way to cap our day’s adventures. There was also a hot tub, and I enjoyed that.

Dinner was at the hotel, and also quite satisfactory. And an early bed-time, so we could get an early start in the morning.
