I had three alarms go off at about 2.30am this morning, so that Emma could have a shower before her taxi came at 3am. I don't really know why we bothered going to sleep to be fair, because we didn't finish looking at our pictures until after 1.30am! Anyway, once she was up and ready we carried her bags to the taxi and waved farewell... it was quite sat actually. It's the second time she's come to visit us - perhaps next time she'll stay the whole time?

After Emma had gone we managed to get a few hours sleep before the alarms went off again at 8am. We'd booked accommodation for EVERY night that Emma was here, but now she was gone we had nowhere to stay... and the YHA was full, so we had to check out and look for a new home. We rang the Witches Hat, and luckily they could fit us in, so we packed our bags and walked up to Northbridge.

This afternoon, after checking back into the Witches Hat and then having a toasted-sarnie for our lunch, we decided to walk down to an outlet shopping centre on the edge of town called Harbour Town. We were looking round for a few hours, but never bought anything. Instead we walked into the centre and had another look round the shops there.

When we came back to the hostel this evening, we were absolutely exhausted - we'd been walking back and forth all day, plus it was really warm today. We had some hot-dogs for our tea and then we rang my Mum to find out what the latest was on Emma's flight home. The silly wally was supposed to ring us when she was in the Departure Lounge at Perth International Airport, but forgot and we were worried all day. Thankfully, she was ok and had just left Dubai and was headed for Blighty. Afterwards we sat in the TV room and updated the blog, before watching Reservoir Dogs with the others

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk..!
