Australia: Perth & Rottnest Island
September 3: Perth Started my morning by packing up and meeting my childhood Canadian bestie and her husband for brunch in my hood. Such fun! Also, delicious. Ray Cafe is a solid restaurant with a vegan menu in Brunswick, for anyone interested. It was a 4.5 hour flight from Melbourne to Perth. Thank goodness I had a window seat! And I managed to finish my book on the plane. After landing at 5pm, I got my bag and hopped in an Uber to go meet a friend from my University of Ottawa days for dinner and drinks. We hadn't seen each other since 2011, and since he's living in Australia, I figured we should meet up. Twas fantastic. Thanks, Matt! We hung out at a pub and then Matt showed me around his office before I grabbed an Uber to get to my friend Kate's house. I LOVE having friends all over!
