Our friends Wally and Eileen Powelson met us at the gate (a Perth perk!) when we landed. It was great to see them, and the wedding of their youngest daughter, Claire, is the purpose of this travel. They took us to the flat we’ll be in for the next three weeks. It’s a great Air Bnb place they had rented the previous August. It’s in an older part of Fremantle, and has the same cool architecture of the rest of the neighborhood. [insert picture] We got there with a little bit of tour of the Perth/Fremantle city, and it was nice to see this really beautiful city. They left us in the good hands of our Air Bnb host, Zolly, and we set about making ourselves comfortable. It’s a great place!
Wally and Eileen then took us the short distance to the Auto Europe office so we could pick up our rental car. Ironically, it’s exactly the same make, model, and color as the Powelson’s. So we have a regular fleet of white Toyota Camry Altise.
We all (Wally, Eileen and their other two daughters Sarah and Amy) had dinner that evening at a a wonderful restaurant called Limones just two blocks from our flat, so a lovely evening walk. It was superb. We’ll be enjoying the beautiful seafood here all during our stay.
It’s great fun to be with the Powelsons - terrific conversation across the generations, and shared love of food and drink! This will be a great trip.
On Wednesday we got oriented and that evening we had Mosman Park fish and chips with the Powelsons. Yum!
On Thursday Powelsons took many of us to a fabulous resturant called Bib & Tucker on the waterfront. We had small plates to share. The Salt Cod Fritters and Soft Shell Crab Sliders were just delicious. That meal being plenty for the day, Larry and I just shared and apple and some cheese and crackers that evening!
