It was decided that all the couples should go out together for Valentines day! We booked into a lovely little restaurant called The Witches Couldran in Subiaco, near Perth city.
There were 5 couples including me and Kev..Nic and Elliot, Richie and Sarah, Jess and Steven and Emma and Danny. A scouse, Welsh, Leeds mixture!! It was $100 per couple for 3 courses and a 3 hour bar tab of wine and beer! So it was a good deal! I had a lovely meal..I went for the salt and pepper squid for my starter, Lamb and rosemary potatoes for the main and a fruit pavlova for dessert! Kev was a little less adventurous, ordering the soup for starter (what a waste), fish and chips for mains..and he turned his nose up at all the desserts on offer!
There was a mix up with the numbers and the restaurant had only booked us in for 8 people..so we had to move from our original seats into the corner on our own, in a little booth..which worked out well because we were quite loud. It was like our own individual part of the restaurant! Now that I think back..there probably wasnt a mix up and they just moved us there purposely..keep the rif raf away from the other diners!! haha
We had an American waitress...like us she was on a working holiday visa..she had just got the job at the restaurant. When she brought over our wines..5 large glasses..she struggled and dropped the tray..all the glasses smashed, and the wine spilt all over Jess...it was sly on the poor American! She was mortified..Jess was lovely about it...we all helped clean it up and told her not to worry..we left her a good tip cos we felt so bad for her!
After the meal we went to the lima bar...we had a good little dance!! It wasn't a late one..got home about 1am I think! Had a smashing time and will definitely go back again soon!! xxx

Golf with the Boys..Joondalup Resort!
A week into our trip, one wednesday afternoon, me and a few of the lads went for a game of golf in Joondalup Resort..Tom (the lad in the orange top) works there and gets us in for free. I didnt exactly play it, I just drove the buggy around..which I enjoyed immensely! ha..iv never been on a golf course before..so its something to tick off the list! Kev had never played before..he was doing well..beginners luck I think..but then it all went pete and he dropped a few balls!! ha..the poor things were lost..never to be seen again!
The lads played 9 holes...it took 2 and half hours! They played whilst sipping on coronas..im not sure that goes on in the professional world of golf! The resort was fab..kangeroos roam free on the course...a bit scray at first but I soon realised that they wernt a bit interested in humans! Afterwards we went to the club house and the lads carried on drinking..I went absolutely wild and ordered myself a latte...delicious!

Salt on the Beach...Australia Day!!
our second day in Oz and we had a cheeky little beach party to go to, 40 minutes away in Freemantle, so we got a maxi taxi to take us all. I was panicking that it would be too hot and I would need a hat for the day...but the whole party was in the shade..under a marqui like tent thing!! So I was happy! In true Liverpool style, we all snuck vodka in with us..I had a bottle in my top..kev had 2 in his shorts! Security didn’t get on to the fact that he was walking like john Wayne! ha...it lasted us well throughout the day!
The party was a laugh, live djs playing, including laid back Luke (show me love)..but I do not remember him gracing the stage..he was meant to be the headliner..I don’t think he turned up?? I could be wrong, I was quite drunk at this point.
One of my favourite parts of the day..the homemade pizza I ordered to myself...ha..I snuck off and sat myself down and tucked in..chorizo and pesto toppings...mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
As the party went into the night, everyone got a little bit crazier..people were on peoples shoulders, people were swilling themselves with champagne (not the best champers iv ever tasted to be honest), people were doing the worm across the floor...mentioning no names! ha
I was absolutely snap happy ad ended up taking 92 pictures???? why?? I will not be putting them all on here..just a selective few will do..you will be able to see the drunkenness slowly creeping in..we go from presentable..to a bit dishevelled...to inexplicable!! haha..
I’m a little red in places...I didnt apply my factor 30 properly the day before..my lips are also a funny shade of red..not a good look!
