So we’re on a small family trip down to Perth, Australia….
July is definitely not the best time to travel to Australia – it’s the dead of winter. But considering we’re from North America, we figured how bad could it really be – Well, it is THAT bad! It is freezing here! Or perhaps, it’s just that we’ve already grown so accustomed to the warm weather in Bali, that the cool weather upon arrival was a shock to our systems – more so for mom and dad who have been complaining way more than me!
Luckily, mom & dad were able to find me a ‘winter’ coat for me in Bali the day before our departure. Mind you, this was no easy feat considering people are in tank-tops, shorts and flip-flops all year long in Bali. And, it was on discount for only 5$!! Of course, it wouldn’t be tough enough for the N-A winters, but I’m so thankful to have it here in Perth.
What makes matters worse is that the houses are not heated, so often times it actually feels colder inside the house than outside. Luckily, they had heaters in the living room and bedrooms where we were staying – phew!
Who would have thought that a 3.5 hour flight down to Aussie would be such a shock to our systems….but don’t worry, we’ve been loading our bodies with local meat pies, and Ikea meatballs to stay warm….hmmmm yummy 🙂
