From Railway Station to Boat Ride

Assalamualaikum all! 

Let's check out how was our weekend!

On Saturday morning, we went to few garage sales. It is our routine to check out garage sale because we love the surprise we get. You never know that you need the item until you found it in the garage sale. For example, we never look for waffle maker, till we found it and now it is our breakfast saver. However, for this week, nothing much attract us. 

Then, off we went to Gosnells Railway Market. Apparently the market situated in the old railway station. The ticket machine and the the railway are still exist. The market is divided into three areas; the wet market where you can find seafood, vegetables and fruits; the food court with many kind of cuisines from Asian to pizza, and some Halal stalls; and the shops - clothes, books, spa, massage house and toys shops. We thought of having our lunch at the food court, but we changed mind and ended up in Perth City.

Hubby brought us to a Malaysian restaurant, Insan's Cafe. It was his favorite cafe when he first landed in Perth. He ordered mee bandung and teh tarik for me and he had nasi campur. He bought a box of pizza for the kids from Pizza hut hich is two doors away from the restaurant. The mee bandung was fairly delicious. i miss having mee although it isn't my favorite noodle. The teh tarik wasn't 'kaw' enough. I assume it is the instant teh tarik. Oh I miss Malaysia!

Later, we walked down the road towards the Bell Tower till we met kangaroo statues and camera -whoring for almost half an hour! In the middle of the day, under hot sun! Haish! And we strolled down the part with big trees. Seriously beautiful and breathtaking. The park led us to the Bell Tower and the Barrack Jetty. Many cruises stop at the jetty, as you can choose to stroll down Swan River, or go to Fremantle which will take up to an hour or just across the river, like what we chose to do. The fare is $2 for adult and free for kids below 5 years old.

This tree is freaking huge!

The journey took several minutes for us to cross the Swan River to South Perth. Immediately after the jetty is a playground. That was where we 'parked' ourselves and the kids dived into the playground. I must say that they totally had fun. What a great family day for us!
