Final weekend in Perth

We had a slow start to the day as we were tired but eventually stirred ourselves to go and get breakfast, ok lunch, do a bit of blogging and post a parcel each. Unfortunately we got the order wrong because we got to the post office about fifteen minutes too late.

We then headed to Subiaco Oval to watch an AFL game between Fremantle Dockers and the Kangaroos (North Melbourne). The stadium was almost decrepit with tiny concourses and entirely concrete. Our seats were good - behind one of the goals and about half-way up the stand. The leg-room, however, was non-existent and, thankfully, no-one was sitting next to us so we could kind of sit side-ways.

The game itself was frenetic but low scoring mainly due to good defence on both sides and there was less than a goal in it at half-time but the Dockers pressure told in the second half and they ran away with it.

The atmosphere was superb and not just celebrating the goals as is the norm with Australian sports fans. Almost a full house, plenty of flag waving and lots of singing.

Caught the Da Vinci code in the evening which was better than the critics think it is.

We had a travelling day on the sunday. Our flight was at four but we checked in early so a lot of time packing and sitting around the airport. Great fun!
