Boxing Day, down to Freo

Well that's it for another year, Christmas has come and gone, though I don't think will be forgetting this one for some time.

We took the Beetle down to Freemantle for the day on Boxing Day. We drove by the Swan River along Riverside Drive and pootled into Freo.
We parked up in a car park by the water front and walked up to the Little Creatures bar ready for our Christmas Aspall's Cider. Couldn't believe it, they'd only bloody sold out of the stuff! Rubbish! We had to make do with a Pip Squeak instead.

Sitting out by the water, in the sun, with an ice cold cider was pretty special, even if it wasn't the Aspall's we were after! We sat and watched the world go by while sipping our cider's and constantly topping up the world's smallest drinking glasses with water. It was a really hot day and we soon moved tables to find a cooler spot in the shade, we refused to give in and go inside to the air conditioning.
After enjoying our ciders we were feeling peckish so we walked back towards the car to Wagamama's. Wagamama's is a Thai/noodle restaurant. The food was nice, though we both struggled a bit with the chop sticks, Claire opted for the stab approach, which was pretty effective!

After lunch we decided to head back home, but not before sitting by the beach to get a few pics. We took the same route back, plus a minor detour around the city because I (Ben) missed the turning.


(Yes, that is a fly on Ben's Face)

We spent the afternoon at home and headed out with Digger to Burswood Park to give him a bit of a run.
So that was our Boxing Day, hope you all had a good Christmas time. Speak again soon.
