started the day bright and early with A and jeanne. A brought us to this delightful roadside eatery called the wild fig with a gorgeous view of the ocean. we played with the iPad, fantasied about breakfast and had a very hearty start with the wholesome mains. i can't get over how fresh produce tastes in perth. the eggs and milk have a distinct 'something extra' about them. could have also been the very attractive company that gave our breakfast that added boost.
i'd never seen a pink potato, much less a pink potato patty, before this!
all ready to soak some rays at brighton beach
doesn't the surf look so inviting, minus the bone-chilling wind...
occupational hazard. growl.
definitely more baywatch than the pratice.
back to A's for some double coated tim tams. i realised, with absolute horror, that i've just wasted innumerable calories on regular tim tams. the best or nothing!!!
a sight for sore eyes. nick and his wheels :)
and then nick brought us from A's to simon's,
and from simon's to boubar.
incidentally, it was at boubar that we received the fateful email on the afore-maligned crackberry that tkx had scored us a dinner reservation at restaurant amuse and it was celebrations all the way.
but before dinner, nick and simon gave us tourists a tour of the city by night from the vantage point that is king's park. sweet :)
restaurant amuse was a life-changing experience in and of itself. we were changed people when we met up with the gang at greenhouse bar along st. george's terrace and saw the poncho man who was wooing sheilas with tomatoes.
an action-packed first day and we wouldn't have had it any other way. i cannot stress how good it was to be with my friends again :) i, for one, was just happy to be in perth, in their city, exploring their streets and seeing their homes. you know it's for keeps when almost a year has lapsed and when you meet up, it's as if no time had passed. we picked up where we left off and that was it :)
