Well, we’ve had a full two weeks in Australia now, and still another three to go. We arrived late in Perth to stay one night at a central hostel, where Claire spied the supernoodles behind the counter, reminding her of her diet while travelling here in 1996 – and what we might be eating on our new travellers budget. We soon made our way to friends Jamie and Kirsten’s who have a very charming beachfront flat in Cottesloe, where we forgot the backpackers and the supernoodles and commenced a week of red, white, champagne and amazing dinners, both in and out.
