Visitors Spree Part 2

Parts 2 and 3 were pretty much back to back. A lot was happening which was totally exhausting but we loved every moment of it and had to get used to a quieter house after everyone had left! Unfortunately, just when we finally wanted to get back to the blogging routine, Kevin fell sick and all we wanted to do was to take the opportunity to rest and recuperate. No doubt the next phase of our lives is going to be much more demanding in every way. Til then, here's an account of a visit planned about a year ago.

Day 1. Preeta, Farrah and Helena arrived. After some girl-y chats and a snooze, Kevin dropped Agnes and the girls at Harbourtown for lunch and some shopping and we then had dinner at Spaghi. Back at home, we got ready to cook supper - Preeta's mum's world-famous chicken varuval! It was really really yummy...



Day 2. Agnes and the girls spent the morning preparing for a picnic at Kings Park... and had a lovely time. Kevin let them take the car and decided to work from home.

Day 3. While Kevin was in uni, Agnes and the girls drove to the Caversham Wildlife Park with the rented car - the highlight being feeding the kangaroos and touching the koalas!

... with her joey in the pouch!

Sylvia finally arrived late in the afternoon and we went to Sir James Mitchell Park for the must-have Aussie experience... barbeque (in the cold winter night! The Aussies prefer theirs on a warm afternoon though). ;)

Day 4 & 5. The girls went on a road trip to the Margaret River region and came back with some exciting stories...

Day 6. We made a trip to Fremantle and Preeta finally got to go to the markets!

From Fremantle, we went to Thilak and Anu's. Preeta, Farrah, Helena and Agnes were colleagues with Thilak in their first job so they have been friends for a long time. It was indeed a good catch up and we really enjoyed their warm hospitality.

Day 7. Final bits of shopping and hanging out together. The girls also had to pick up some "essentials" for the party they were planning for... more on that up next... ;p
