Fremantle

This is a late post about a harbour town  in Perth called Fremantle. We found time to travel there by train. It was quite far from where we lived, but we managed to get there anyway. Had some fun before the semester started.

Fremantle train station. Love the architecture.

Church (I think). More interesting architecture.

There was a fun fair at the Esplanade.

Abba found a new job as a street performer!

Anyway the leading man juggles torches/machetes/apples while standing on a ladder.

At the famous seafood restaurant, Cicerello's.

It is worth noting that the Fish n' Chips there wasn't as awesome as advertised. Pretty mediocre. However, the calamari and chilly mussels were great. Do try the chilly mussels if you get the chance. I normally don' take mussels, but those served at the restaurant were really good.

The view outside Cicerello's.

Fremantle Prison.

Waiting to be jailed, all on cellphones.

Our tourguide.

It looks like those prisons in movies.

The prison even has its own church.

Happy trip!

Now the semester has started, we'll only be running around on weekends. Pity. We were already entering some kind of short-term holiday mood. Hopefully our 2 semesters in Perth will be rewarding and fruitful.
