For the first time that I can remember in my married life I finally decided to have a little Time out. My mum offered for me to go to her place in Perth and spend some time there. Now who doesn't like to go and see their momma's ! I haven't been to perth, so it was a great opportunity. As preparations were made, things seemed to fall in place which was great.
We planned it over NZ's Labour weekend so that Arama could take care of the kids. It turned out he took the kids for a road trip to Hastings for his Dad's birthday and were able to catch up with cousins they hadn't seen for a long time.
You really get to appreciate how big Australia is when you have to travel 10 hours to get from New Zealand to Perth. Perth was a lovely hot place. Dry in places but the Australia kind of beautiful. From the moment I arrived I was spoilt. Steward is such Old School Gentleman. The kind you would hope that your sons would learn and use. I loved watching him dote on mum. It was so lovely. Mum was amazing, and such good medicine for me.
The Day after I arrived (after I slept a full 12 hours un interrupted and a big bed to myself.) Mum and I's first stop was the Perth Temple.
We went to this amazing pizza place. I can honestly say it is the best pizza I have ever tasted (and being me I was trying to disect it to see just why) Lots of cheese on the base, organic produce on top red onions on them too.. mmmmso good.
We ate the pizza at the beach. My first encounter with the Indian ocean. Lovely and cool waves and colour was so beautiful. The sunset equally as pretty.

I was able to go to the Perth Temple with mum for a session, and have a picnic in Perth City. It was so good to see the native Australian bush in the Botanical Gardens.

We took a free bus ride around
freemantle then went for a walk to the old prison there, and had lunch at this
yummy Fish and Chips shop.

After lunch, we headed back to Perth on the
river cat – ferry. It was so nice to see the city from a different angle.

| Hello Perth |
When
we arrived back in perth we saw Kangaroo’s in the capital… hehe it was so cool to see these statues. I
felt so Australian at that point of time. I love all the Australiana things
there are to see.

I was really spoilt while being there, I so
appreciated being able to go and am now converted to the once a year mummy time
out.
Thank you to everyone that helped make it
possible for me to go.
Your mums & Stewarts house is so the best medicine. I slept so well, eat so well and was so revived too. I can't wait to visit with her again. They have this amazing spirit in their home. Awesome. It was so good you got to spend some precious time with her.
