Trip to Perth and Adelaide









Hello~! This is Yuri.
Happy New year!

I went to Perth and Adelaide with Ai and Hirono during the Christmas holidays. We flew to Perth. It was very hot there! We looked around the city, and cooked Japanese curry and rice in an apartment. It was beautiful, so we were impressed.

The next day, we went to Pinnacles. There are a lot of pinnacles of rock.
We called them “Pinna-chan” and enjoyed. Then, we went sand-boarding.
We slid down a white sand dune. It was really exciting!!

The next day, we went to Rottnest Island. It took about 1 hour and a half from the city of Perth by ferry. We hired bikes and enjoyed cycling.
We were impressed by a native beauty of the island. We also enjoyed snorkeling. It was a little bit cold though, we could find colourful fish.

After 4 nights we spent in Perth, we rode “Indian Pacific”. It’s a long-distance train which runs the longest strait rail in the world. It took 2 days to get to Adelaide from Perth, and the view had been “Nullarbor Plain” all the time.
It was beautiful! We arrived in Adelaide. In the city, we found 4 pigs! He is one of them, Oliver. We spent 3 nights there and enjoyed relaxing time.

On the last day, we were coming back to Melbourne by train, but we couldn’t.
The taxi we called didn’t come. We had waited for a long time… but it didn’t come. We were upset and tried catch another taxi, but we missed the train. Finally, we flew again. We panicked but we enjoyed this happening. Haha
This 9 nights trip was amazing. We could see further Australia!
See you next time!
