And I bought a Qantas-model, the one that took us from Germany to Australia and vice versa three times now.
In Perth, Wellington bus station, we tried to plan the next stop, city-map in our hands - we wanted to hop off Wanneroo Rd - Morley Dv, since there is a Pizza Hut. A man called over, "you ok?", we said, "yeah, thanks". In the bus he sat behind us and told us when to stop the bus :-) Friendly local.
In the evening we went to the blogger-meetup to which Deanne and Simone invited us. This is Deanne (to the left) - and me, I look like, ACK! Another pic of me!
We met in the The Brass Monkey, obviously a famous pub. And most photographed hotel - true, I bought a calendar of Perth and it´s the motive for this month.
It was very loud, hence hard to make conversation.
Deanne brought us Tim Tams, typical australian chocolate. We have been warned, they are very sweet and are to be dipped in coffee.
In australian pubs you aren´t served, but get your drinks at the bar. I didn´t want the Tim Tams to be stolen, so I took them with me. The bar tender addressed me, "you cannot eat this in here" - I didn´t understand, since a) I was concentrated on which beer to take, didn´t know them, and, more important, b) chocolate is nothing I eat. It´s something I nibble.
(Santa looks cool, too :-)...)
The bartender repeated the same sentence again and again and I got no clue what the man wanted from me. He could have changed his instruction into, "you are not allowed chocolate in here", or something like that, but nooo.... I needed help from another blogger whom´s name I sadly not know. She explained it was an exchange-gift for some Gherkin (scroll down to "Germany, Gherkins and Meetup", I can´t get a deep-link).
It was loud, but very nice, too. The chritsmas decoration in the streets was beautiful, too.
