Freemantle and Perth

We took a walk in Fremantle on our way back to Perth.

 

It is quite charming with its old buildings and architecture.

It was one of the first ports on the west coast of Australia.

 

 

 Bethany and Laura,

 here's to sipping your way through Fremantle!

 

 

 

 

Next stop, Perth. 

 

Loved the blend of old and new

 

Since no Pilgrims, then no Thanksgiving,

 they moved right into Christmas on Nov. 1.

 Halloween was no big deal here.

 Saw very few costumes or decorations. 

 

Notice the splash pad. Australia is extremely family friendly.

 Most places close at 5 pm and most are closed on Sunday.

 Even restaurants have play areas for kids. (What happened to the US?)
