Saturday 22nd September: Whangarei - Perth


We woke early, too early but that’s always the way with last minute jobs thought of during the night. Giving the cats a dose of frontline at 5:00am is getting a little OTT (over the top) though. Breakfast over and done with, bags in the car and off to pick up Russell & Kath by 8:00.  We had a good trip through to Aero Park by the airport where we left the car and were transferred to the airport. We managed to book in straight away then into duty free before a typically crappy airport lunch. We left the ground on time at 2:35 and settled into an uneventful 7+ hour flight arriving at Perth at 5:50 Western Australian time – 4 hours behind NZ. We caught a taxi to the Pan Pacific Hotel in the CBD. Our room were on the 21st floor with commanding views over the Swan River. Russell & Kath’s on the same floor with views over the south of the city. By this stage we were fairly knackered so hit the pillows.
