The tour guide is so excited to have such a large group. And there's a lot of interesting places along our ride. Discuss what you've seen and what you liked thus far in Australia..

I decided to take the day to enjoy the cycling tour with our group. It was nice to explore the city on such a lovely day. It felt good to move again today. After yesterday's walks and swims, the cycling was a welcome change. After a few days on the train in the heart and heat of Australia these last few days of movement have been greatly appreciated.

We saw some amazing sights. We started at the Mends Street Jetty, then made our way to The Old Mill, then the Crawley Edge Boatshed. We went through Kings Park and Botanic Garden, saw the Blue Boat house, the Bell Tower and then finished at Elizabeth Quay.

In the evening I managed to get some others to join me on a three hour PERTH BAR+STREET ART TOUR: Hidden Secrets, Laneways + Good Times! I was excited to walk the secret laneways and see the street murals and other fabulous art. I made sure to bring my sketchbook and my camera to get some inspiration for my own drawings. There was some cool stuff on various surfaces as we ventured out and about.

Our tour guide, Pete, took us through hidden laneways with fantastic murals and fascinating histories. He encouraged us to look up and see the historic buildings forgotten above chain stores.

The three bars we visited all had a cool vibe to them and I made sure to drink plenty of water to balance off the various tasting of beverages we enjoyed.

Our flight was at 11pm from Perth to Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport. I was still a little jazzed from our outing. We all made sure not to forget anything as we headed for the airport. I found it hard to fall asleep on the flight, instead I stayed awake for a time drawing and sketching. When I did sleep it was good despite being on the plane.
