Tuesday 1st January 2008

I'm not sure what time we finally got to bed last night, but I do know that we didn't wake up until almost 12pm today! Emma was already awake, led in bed listening to the iPod I gave her. Because it's her last day in Perth, once we were dressed, Nikki cooked us all a massive fry-up - with sausages, bacon, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and eggs. After that, we were all set up for the day.

We didn't have anything planned to do and, because it's a Bank Holiday, everything is shut - so we just took a walk down to the edge of the Swan River and spent the day chilling out on the grass. We talked, laughed and read our books for hours, until it started to get dark - when we went into a bar called the Lucky Shag.

At first we couldn't get a table, so we stood outside next to the river. Eventually, as people started to leave, we got some seats - but stayed in the same spot, and we were glad we did - as the sun set, the views were absolutely stunning. There were a few clouds in the sky and it just made it more dramatic - turning the sky all shades of orange, pink and red. It was definitely the perfect send off for Emma. When we got back to the hostel, the drink had made us peckish, so Nikki made us hot-dogs before we sat in our room and Emma looked at all our 'World Tour' photographs... all 5000+!

Ow, it's sad that Emma's leaving - she's become part of the gang!
