Took a walk in Kings Park and looked at all the couples having romantic picnics

2012-02-14T10:38:00.000-08:00

Got very spoilt at work by both teachers and students today!

2012-02-14T10:24:00.000-08:00

Great outdoor weekend! Camping in Lancelin on Saturday and enjoying Sunday in Guilderton

Curious Pelicans joined us while we were paddeling around

2012-02-12T11:36:00.000-08:00

Great fun kajaking together!

2012-02-12T11:33:00.000-08:00

Found ourselves a spot to rest and went for a swim in the river

2012-02-12T11:24:00.000-08:00

Not very cooling though, it was almost as warm in the water as on land. But hey, who's complaining?!

Sleeping in a tent means you are up with the birds, catching the morning waves!

2012-02-12T11:22:00.000-08:00

Footprints in the sand

2012-02-11T14:05:00.000-08:00

One is Sandra's and the other one is Johan's. Wierd, but they look almost the same!

Camping 5m from the beach in Lancelin, great view at this beautiful place

2012-02-11T14:01:00.000-08:00

You don't need to be an engineer to set up this tent, Sandra did it in less than 10 min

2012-02-11T13:56:00.000-08:00

Hm, this is a tent for 3 people, midgets?

2012-02-11T13:52:00.000-08:00

Self inflateable mats??!

2012-02-11T13:51:00.000-08:00

2012-02-11T06:40:00.000-08:00

Outdoor Cinema under the stars and pine trees is a wonderful experience

2012-02-10T15:03:00.000-08:00

The movie was so so (The iron lady) but it is a special feeling to go to the outdoor cinemas. They are located around Perth at different places. Every one of them are set up in their own style, a different and romantic thing to do during summer time :-)

Dinner and a movie in Leederville tonight

2012-02-10T14:55:00.000-08:00

Surfboard, sarong, sparkling (water that is), sand, swim and sun B-)

2012-02-10T14:47:00.000-08:00

Had to head straight down to our beach after work, 37 degrees. Went for a swim, then relaxed to the sound of the waves. Friday afternoons are the best, knowing you have the whole weekend in front of you!

2 hours of salsa classes, level 2 and 3 and one hour of social dancing at The Deen tonight!

2012-02-09T14:47:00.000-08:00

2012-02-08T23:57:00.000-08:00

Back to our every day life. Tuesday habit; chili mussels at The Saint :-)

2012-02-07T11:47:00.000-08:00

Aaah, Much better! It's amazing what a good workout does!

Endorfines kicking in and the stress and headache's gone. EVEN my feet feels better :-)

After a crazy busy day at work; stressing to the bus, and it breaks down!!!

2012-02-06T09:00:00.000-08:00

...Will miss my spin class, have blisters on my feet and will have to walk a fair bit...

2012-02-06T08:49:00.000-08:00

At least the weather's great and I think we have to compensate with a run in Kings Park, but first I need to get out of those shoes!

Spent 80min on my favourite machine at the gym while Johan went to the windsurfing club

2012-02-05T06:00:00.000-08:00

This Febfast charity thing is really good for our health, usually NOT at the gym a Sunday morning!

2012-02-05T04:09:00.000-08:00
