Perth Day 1 (040409) - Arrival in Perth


We reached the airport on sat night, after a long 5 1/2 hrs journey. That was tiring on a Jetstar Airbus A330, with hardly any space to move, to stretch my legs or body. The landing was also pretty bad and we almost thought that it was due to the bad weather.





The 1st thing that caught my dear's eyes when we reached the airport, was CAMERA. His eyes sparkled immediately when he saw cameras at a shop and he was "glued" to it. OMG! But he was fun and cute, adding laughter to my "long', tiring journey.

Their international airport is pretty small as compared to ours. I was surprised that they are still using manual system to scan our passports. For a moment, I felt proud of our well-developed and high-tech system.
We had a slight hiccup...i.e. my dear forgot to bring his driving license! And this meant that we maybe stuck in the City of Perth for one week. What are we going to do here for a week, in a small little town, with hardly any activities after 5pm? We started to panic.

My dear was pretty upset that he forgot about the driving license, bcos he had planned for it to be a wonderful trip for me, I know. Thus, I did not blame him, instead I was thankful that he has made such a great effort to make the trip. So when he reached the hotel, he immediately switched on his laptop to source for help. That was very sweet of him.


Finally, we managed to get his cousin to scan a copy of his driving license, which we intended to try our luck at the car rental company the next day. So for the time being, we managed to have a peaceful night, keeping our finger cross that our luck will be better the next day...
