DAY 206 - 11/09/2010 - Secret Harbour, WA

Today we decided to head into Fremantle. The Fremantle markets are on and I have been told they should not be missed.

What a beautiful city Fremantle is. There is a lot of history here. You only have to look at the old colonial buildings that are everywhere to know this. I get the impression that it was a very flashy city in its day.





The markets were very busy. Narrow isles, lots of stalls, a food hall, buskers, people everywhere rushing here and there. The atmosphere was alive and buzzing. What to eat? What to buy? We purchased a few food items then went for a walk around town.

Lilly was on foot today because we have not replaced her broken pram and she was hard work. So before we did anything else we are off to Target to get her a new pram.

The new pram is fantastic. She is not happy to be in it but she has no choice.

We enjoy some yummy greek food for lunch and Italian cakes for dessert.


Fremantle is very multicultural and this is reflected in their many different nationality restaurants and cafes which line the main street. Italian and Asian cuisine seems to be the more popular ones. There are a few pubs here and the terrace balconies are overflowing with people having a drink and looking down on the passer bys or the baskers performing in the mall.




Tonight, before dinner, I manage to down 1 1/2 bottles of Cab Merlot in about 10 minutes and I am carrying on like a good sort and pass out but not before I hug the porceline bowl. I think I had a good sleep.
