FREMANTLE
So I was driving toward Fremantle, and just when I cross the traffic light to enter into Fremantle, along Canning Highway, red lights and sirens came chasing me from behind.
Officer: You know how fast were you going?
Me: not too sure
Officer: 77km/h. You now whats the speed limit?
Me: 70?
Officer: Nope. 50! And you 27 above.
Me: Shit!
Officer: Can I have your license?
*passed him the license, and was shitting in my pants now*
Officer: Singapore? Where do you stay here?
Me: Perth?
Officer: Which part?
Me: Comfort Inn Perth City?
Officer: Ah… tourist?
Me: yup.
Officer: Still, you are going real fast.
Me: I understand.
Officer: How long have you been here?
Me: This morning?!
Officer: geez…. 8hours and you are with the police, not a good feeling, eh? ok, I will just issue you with a warning this time round. Don’t you speed again. And have a great holiday!
gosh… got back into the car…. my wife was there, asking what happened.
Told her about it, and she took it quite well, just asking me not to speed again.
Anyway, we went on our way to Fremantle, had our dinner at Kaili’s, and its the BEST dinner I had in a long long time!
CAN YOU SEE THE SIZE OF THE LOBSTERS?
We ordered the Fish & Chips, half Lobster Mornay, half BBQ lobster. All for A$72. For that amount of money, you cannot even get a lobster that size in Singapore, not to mention it being cooked!
If people tell you that Cicerellos is the place to go for Fish&Chips, point your middle finger at them, and go straight to Kaili’s, I’m not joking!
The fish is fresh, and the chips are hot! The lobsters and juicy, salad is fresh!
Great great meal! This is the first time my wife tasted Lobsters this size, and having the need to cut them up into smaller slices before stuffing it into her mouth!
Parking cost A$2.20/hr. And since we paid for 2hrs, we went for a stroll along the beach after the dinner….
Oh… I forgot to mention that we had Apple Strudles and a cup of coffee after that sumptuous dinner, I guess….
Anyway, we were walking behind Kaili’s, and the sun was just setting…
2 hours is almost up, and we went on north, to Cottesloe beach.
COTTESLOE BEACH
Cottesloe is a nice suburb west of Nedlands and Claremont, and north of Fremantle, just beside the sea, and has a wonderful beach side restaurant.
We stayed for only 10mins as the wind was too strong and we went on to Claremont station.
CLAREMONT STATION
Claremont Station is a train station which I have always liked since the first time I was it like 10 years back. It looks old, built of stone, and the bridge, wood. Everything looks really nice and out of place, beside a shopping mall.
