Day 97. Fremantle. 16/08/2015

Another lovely sunny morning greeted us and it was great to be able to put on shorts and know we wouldn't be cold!  Set the G.P.S to take us out to Perth Airport and we arrived in plenty of time considering we thought we were travelling on the longest route!  Being Sunday it was a good day for an airport pickup as there was not a great deal of traffic on the roads.
Very exciting to see Judy and Terry arrive and after quite a long wait at the baggage carousel we set off for our trip back to Fremantle and the Esplanade Hotel where they will be staying for the next few days.
After unpacking and settling in we all needed to eat so we walked up to Cappuccino Strip to the bakery for a light lunch. Fremantle is just teeming with people all enjoying the lovely weather and the surroundings. I don't think there would have been an empty table in any of the many restaurants, cafes and hotels in Freo. We returned to the hotel so that Terry could have a must needed rest as they had been on the go for a number of hours.
John and I had a coffee in the lounge of the hotel that was entertaining people with "football food and drink" as they watched the Derby and whilst I was in the bathroom John, true to his usual form, chatted up a very lovely young lady with a Freo scarf around her neck only to discover that she used to live in Winmalee Drive just around the corner from us in Glen Waverley.  It is said that we are all connected by 6 degrees of separation and it gets proven all the time!
We returned to camp and John had a rest listening to the Derby as there was no television reception and I turned over a few pages in the book I'm reading.
Early to bed tonight.
