This was our only free and easy day in Perth City. We would also need to rely on the public transport. After much discussion and goggling, we finally decided on the Scitech. There were much rave about it.
The day started really early for me bcos there is a gym in the service apartment. Yay! Despite the lack of proper gym wear, I went onto the treadmill bcos the growing tummy from the sinful feasts commanded me to do so. It was plain tiring, more than usual. Was it bcos it was the holidays or the air was different?
Thereafter, the adults rushed off to the CBD for grocery shopping leaving the kids with Popo. We needed ingredients for dinner. The girls stayed in their room and enjoyed TV in bed. We sent the dangerous boy to Popo, who both stoned in front of the TV bcos it was so cold.
The morning was gorgeous.
And we arrived home to a sumptuous bfast. Bcos it was relaxed day, we took our time. We finally arrived at Scitech via the CAT bus.
With all the rave reviews, I had expected Scitech to be more exciting, especially when it costs so much. It was much smaller than our Science Center, having 2 main halls and 3 mini theatres. We caught the 1st show soon after we reached and the kids enjoyed themselves. Then, it was to the exhibits.
As you can see, all my pictures were of Zaky bcos I had to stick to him closely in case he went missing. Jiejie was happily exploring and roaming with Felicia.
We spent a good 2 hours in Scitech. In the afternoon, we broke away from my brother's family. They had wanted to do shopping and my kids are allergic to shopping unless if it is for them. We opted to go to the King's Park instead. Like I mentioned, what is Perth without parks and playgrounds?
We caught the CAT bus that brought us right to the King's Park. We should have done some homework bcos we had no idea where to go and King's Park is huge! We walked for a long time before deciding to approach some coach drivers for help. The "Perthians" are really friendly and helpful and one of them offered us a map that she had printed that morning.
Finally! We found a playground that was next to a cafe.
A much needed lunch. It had been many meals of croissants, pies and wraps.
And a much needed coffee. Perth coffees were really good.
The playground was huge. After lunch, we went Australian style. Yes, I brought along a picnic mat bcos lazing in the park was what I had planned to do.
It would have been perfect if we had more snacks and fruits. The weather was fabulous.
We did buy paper planes from Scitech.
We had great fun and laughs.
Then more lazing.
And more lazing.
We spent about 2 hours at the park and ended off with an ice cream. The idea was to walk out of the park with the ice cream in hand but Daddy Lim needed to poo. The ice creams were all gone when he was done. Zzzzz. More play as we waited.
While it wasnt a super exciting agenda, it was a good experience. We wanted to take the CAT bus back to the apartment but missed a stop and ended at the Water Town - the branded outlet. We tried shopping but there wasnt much cheap stuff to buy and the shops were all "threatening" to close bcos it was nearing 5.30pm.
We soon left and back to the comfy apartment for a nice home-cooked dinner, courtesy of Popo. Almost going home. Sob.
