Fremantle and friends

With the 5 hour time difference between Auckland and Perth I was out of the hostel at 7am and caught up with a friend Carla for a juice at 8:15! With a bit of wandering around to follow, I checked out of the hostel by the required time of 10am and spent most of the day in Fremantle [Fremantle-travel-guide-153437].

Fremantle is a lovely historic port town which is now effectively a suburb. It is hard to believe a laid back location like that was home to all the rarara of the America's Cup about 20 years ago.

We bunked with a crew friend at the Hyatt ... but not without a quick visit to the Casino where we joined up to their rewards programme to get cheap meals!
