Have A Ball
After the nose incident we gave the day a rest, bu-huu and OMG, don't risk another ride to Hosp, right?
Yesterday we drove to Perth and made our way on foot to search the Solar System.
First we ran into this cute sign:
Beauford Street corner Albans Ave we found the Sun.
From him to Mercury was just a few steps, soon we arrived at Venus, didn't take long we hit Earth, Mars and then... we walked quite a while till we found Jupiter and after nother longer walk we finally hit Saturn.
The distances to the next planets grew and grew, quite impressive.
On the way we saw this (again?), does it count as mural?
You need a rest and don't mind lying in the grass, here you're welcome:
The mural on the parking lot, unfinished last time now is complete:
The title? Apart from planets being "round" like a ball and us having fun... this is the reason:
And in case you have to go, if on foot or by bike... here you find out how long you have to hold it still....
Here we finally found Pluto.
Crazy, a girls-only college. Guess in Germany we don't have that and what for anyways?
Yes, Pluto is still listed as planet, they say, "We're calling Pluto a planet on our stroll and don't really care what the 'experts' say!"
We crossed the street and made our wy back to Perth...
... ahhh, the view, no?
I love that you get to know how long it will take you to get to places:
We found The Flying Scotsman again where we had lunch with Grace and P last time and enjoyed a well earned beer:
And guess what I carried all the way from the city, silly-me?
I just had to get that yummy onion & thyme-marmelade again that Sami presented mw with last time, plus...
I got something special and useful for Bro as well, organic fig & cinnamon jam.
Tastes yum, too. How can I know? You can taste everything they have on offer!
More to come...

That's the trouble with interplanetary travel--bathroom breaks.
Haha, true, too!
LOL, I'd never seen that "Solar system stroll". Something for my list now!
I have seen some of those "grass beds" in the Mt Lawley area and they are so cute. I've had dinner in a great Greek restaurant by that OMG sign.
Actually it was a tad disappointing, you see just the planets as shown in that one pic... The distances are the only interesting thing.
Perth College is a private girls' school. There are heaps of private girls' schools in Australia and boys-only ones too. Don't they have single gender schools in Germany?
I haven´t heard that at least.
Private, yes, but just one gender? If so, very rare...
