The weatherman warned of possible bushfires in the hills and the temperature could reach to 40 degrees. We changed our initial plan of driving to the hills and went to Subiaco as Joan wanted to bring me to Be Kind Organic Beauty Store. However, quite a number of shops in that area were closed, so we only could peep into the glass panel of Be Kind. The shop is selling Suki, John Master (which are found in Singapore) and some other unfamiliar but interesting brands. (Later, we found out that 28 Dec is a public holiday.)
We wanted to grab a light lunch @ a cafe around 2pm but the kitchen was closed. We tried our luck @ King's Park and the Zambia cafe had some yummy looking quiche that we ordered. The salad that came with it was good with lots of fresh veggies.
We took a walk around King's Park and admired the greenery and some man-made stuff.
Boab trees could live up to a few thousands year old and could survive without any leaves. There are a number of young ones but the largest and oldest is about 750 years old and has earlier been transported from another site to King's Park.
From the park, we could get a good view of Perth city.
There is a lovely part of the King's Park that reminds me of the canopy walk before the Alexandra Arch and Kent Ridge Park in Singapore.
Some charred looking trees we came across.
The name of this funny-looking plant is Grasstree.
The pretty flowers.
A fountain surrounded by a big grass area which is good for picnics.
Joan and I visited the beach near her place before we headed back for dinner. The sunset view was lovely.
The chair caught my eye. It is a good place to rest, breathe in the salty sea air and stare out at the sea.
When we went back, dinner was almost ready. We had roast pork, rice with chinese sausage and mushrooms, diced cucumbers and lettuce soup. Joan's sis had brown rice version which I tried and like.
After a shower, we continued to watch the rest of the Glee episodes and slept around 2am again :)
