First days in Perth
A bit later than expected due to internet issues, but it is here nonetheless: my first update on life in Perth. Tuesday, after I arrived, I immediately went into the city after a quick shower and it was very impressive. The atmosphere is very European, but the size of the city is more American, making it a perfect combination as everything is right there but without the noise or shimmering lights of for example New York. Another big plus for this city: free public transport around the CBD (which includes the area where my hostel is located)!
From the bridge near Elizabeth Quay you had a very beautiful view on the skyline of Perth, it is really amazing! I also visited the Bell Tower, an icon for Perth, which takes on beautiful colors at night, and I just strolled around the city to take in the first impressions of the most isolated city in the world!
On Wednesday the day started full of rain, this despite Perth being not only the most isolated city in the world, but also the sunniest... However, it quickly turned around again and I set off to the Perth Zoo with the ferry. Again, from the south side of the Swan river you have an amazing view on Perth, but the zoo itself was very impressive as well. Of course the usual elephants, monkeys and tigers were present, but what made this visit so unique was the Australian part where kangaroos and wallabi's are free to wander around between the visitors, very cute! And I think I fell in love with this koala, he was the cutest thing ever!
More pictures coming soon (hopefully the internet is fixed tomorrow!)
