Landed, And on our feet.

After a long, long long flight and a short taxi ride at 3.15 am we arrived at the home of Chaminda and his family just outside Perth "AUSTRAILIA"
 The key was under the plant pot as described and we were easily able to creep in find our space. We had booked a room through www.airbnb.com
A beautiful house and lovely family.






Showed us the ropes and took us into the city.



Coincidentally, Angelina and Jorden are also home schooled, 
very bright and well behaved kids.

Rubies cube.


Need to improve by 1 minute 28 seconds to beat world record. 

Lepper colony

 this spooky place was built as a Lepper colony just after the civil war but............  never used for that purpose. Ruby wants to buy it and make a hotel, I have my doubts.

Big Fish Dive Center.

 
There are many diving schools on the island, we checked out quite a few and we are confident we picked one of the best.  

 
Owned by a nice Polish guy called Mario and staffed by English speaking people from a number of different countries, the premises, study rooms and equipment are all very new and in great condition.

It's not all just good fun becoming a diver.

Have to carry my own gear now.  More instruction and another dive this afternoon.
