Day 117: Perth

We are in Perth to welcome, and surprise, my sister Sam, her husband Simon and children Leah and Daniel who have emigrated here.

They arrived very, very late last night from London via two nights in Singapore so they were fresh as daisy's. Can't say the same for us, I had to have a nap before we went to meet them as we were still on Brisbane time which made their arrival our time around 2:30AM.

So here we are in lovely Perth, staying with Danny and Jody in Padbury. We have brought the rain with us and may consider hiring ourselves out to drought stricken towns as I am starting to think we have magical powers.

We're going to have some fun here and do what we can to help ease Sam and Simon, et al, into their new life. That should keep us busy for a few days.

Oh, and visit the Tamarind Thai restaurant because we have missed their bamboo chicken! Maybe we will have it twice to make up for being away...
