Hunger

I forgot what it felt like to actually be hungry! I must be all better.

Today I went to King's Park and wander around. I saw lots of nice views of Perth and the many crazy jet skiers on the Swan River. I also saw the water gardens, which have a fountain/statue commemorating pioneer women of Western Australia. The statue is a woman holding a baby and the plaque said something about them walking stoically into the jets of water which represented their destiny. Nice sentiment, but also hard not to laugh at it.

I met the eldest son of the Willoughby's at the tennis club, and also some other friends of theirs. It was not posh at all, very relaxed and low key. This afternoon I also got to go swimming in the pool here, and we had a very nice dinner of crayfish (sp?) which were like small lobsters that we ate cold. It was a pretty relaxing, almost boring day. Nothing to write home about- despite the fact that I am writing about it.

Tomorrow I go to the hostel. That's the big cliffhanger. Will I make friends? I can't wait to find out.

Love,
Emma
