Easter

Easter was awesome. From having absolutely no plans, to fishing at Freemantle, dinner in Northbridge at HK BBQ with a new group of friends, then cycling around south Perth and having morning tea at Raffles in Applecross on Easter Monday!

I didn't expect us to catch anything, but within seconds, literally of casting the line into the water off the rocks, Jeremy had a garfish on his line! Followed by another, and another and another. There were quite a few people fishing in the same area, but no one seem to be having the same luck Jeremy was. I however wasn't catching anything. So we decided to swap rods to see if it was a lucky rod, or if Jeremy indeed had the magic touch. It was the rod! No sooner had I cast the line, I immediately had a bite! Followed by another, and another . . . Jeremy ended up catching a few more with the rod I was using, as it turns out the rod just wasn't quite as sensitive. We managed to catch 19 garfish and herring (Tommy's for us Adeladians) within 2 hours, not a bad effort eh?

I borrowed Jeremy's bike to ride with my new friends from Sunday night's dinner. The weather was fantastic, riding on bike paths all along the river's edge. I now have a renewed desire to get my own bike so I can ride around and explore Perth from 2 wheels. Morning tea at Raffles was delightful, I had a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon & passionfruit juice (for $7.50, I had to try it at least once!) with a white chocolate and raspberry muffin. We were debating sharing a few items from the delectable breakfast menu, but they only serve it on the weekends. We thought they might make an exception since it was Easter Monday, but alas that was not to be the case.
