We\u2019re finally in WA- that is, West Australia. We got here after flying from Ayers Rock to Alice Springs to Adelaide to Perth. There used to be a regular flight from Ayers to Perth, but Qantas Airlines canceled it.<\/p>\n
On the flight from Ayers to Alice, we got a snack of two cookies, cheese, 110 milliliters of water, and three crackers. There was an hour-long layover in Alice, and then we headed for Adelaide. I watched an episode of Big Bang Theory<\/em>, and then, because the regularly scheduled programming was canceled, two really boring programs played. Instead of watching those, I read Sacajawea<\/em>.<\/p>\n It was raining in Adelaide. In case you don\u2019t know, Adelaide is on the southern coast of Australia. We had a three-hour layover (or so) there. The domestic terminal had a surprising variety of shops (of course, Australia is a big country), including Chocolat & Wicked Desserts and Smiggle. I love Smiggle! They organize the store by color. There is pink, purple, green, black, blue, and white\/rainbow. I found the cutest mouse mouse, which is a cordless pink computer mouse that is shaped like a mouse. The ears are the buttons and there\u2019s even a little face!<\/p>\n Chocolat & Wicked Desserts was more my style, though, what with its generous scoops of gelato<\/em> that were inexpensive by Australian standards. I got two scoops, one of chocolate and one of honey-cinnamon. Ethan got one of chocolate and one of hazelnut. Mom got the same as me, and Dad got one scoop honey-cinnamon and one scoop chocolate-hazelnut.<\/p>\n We finallyfinallyfinally got on the plane after a ridiculously long delay. Once we were on we were told the reason for the delay.<\/p>\n When we were coming into Adelaide, there was some really strong turbulence. Some people threw up, so we had to clean it up and replace some seat cushions. <\/em><\/p>\n TMI. We did not need to know that there was a storm that we would fly through. There was a little bit of turbulence, but it was the first time that I have heard people (females) squeal on a plane. For supper, we were served pumpkin pasta, a mini Toblerone, cheese, and crackers. I also watched The Sapphires<\/em>, the beginning of Rio<\/em>, and three episodes of Modern Family<\/em>.<\/p>\n Once we landed in Perth, we got our four suitcases and our Avis rental car and headed north for two hours until we reached Jurien Bay. It\u2019s been a long day.<\/p>\n Ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re finally in WA- that is, West Australia.
