Hello !I'm writing to you from The Shiralee Hostel in Perth. It's a bit of a strange hostel, most of the people have been living here for months on end because they cant find a flat in Perth :( I started my travels in Doah on the 7th Jan. It was actually much nicer than I expected! I stayed in a two room suite in a Hilton for £15 a night (fancy!) Souk Waqif was really nice, I bought some dates & got some yummy dinner for £1.50!  The next day took me to the city's eco district & a district called Katara.  The outdoor, air-conditioned, plaza in the eco district. Not very eco when its run on oil... But it was a nice area  A rather nice mosque in Katara On my last day, everything was shut until 13:30, so I only made it to the Islamic art museum which was well worth the trip. My favorite piece is this cool monkey. I also saw the obligatory Qatari with his falcons trying to go through the gates in the airport   And that marks the end of my three days in Doha. I've been in Perth since the 10th. It's hot! About 30c most days. Perth is quite a nice city, but quiet and sprawling. I've taken it quite slow. Ive been to...
I also played football in the park against a bunch of Italians (and won! Suck it Italy)      One of the many beaches on Rottnest Island  A Quokka! They're marsupials, just like Kangaroos  Cycling round Rottnest Island (or Rotto as the Aussies call it)  Perth's skyline from the South Perth Foreshore Thats all for now! See you next week, |
