According to my phone it was 9-30 in Perth when I woke up but still only 7am here. After a shower I explored the hotel finding the pool and the gym before heading to breakfast. There are so many staff waiting around to serve you - at the pool, the gym, gate guards, door men and heaps in the restaurant. I have never been saluted so much in my life – it’s a bit weird. The breakfast restaurant has so many choices; I can see it will be a real challenge not to eat too much on this trip. (Yesterday was hopeless with the lounges and food on the plane). I settled on a freshly cooked omelette and some fruit (and a bun).
I then went for a walk in the adjoining plaza. It looks like an office precinct so nothing was open. It’s quite attractive and was the side the hotel promotional photo was taken from. My room looks out the other side, which is not so attractive being mainly construction sites. It took only a few minutes before the heat and humidity took their toll and I was soon back in the air conditioning.
Later I had a brief spell in the pool, followed by a session in the gym – 30 minutes on the cross trainer and 10 on the treadmill. May not get any hockey in during the 2 weeks but hopefully this will keep me fit for the Vets Championships when I get home.
Not feeling well tonight. Had a nap after lunch but woke up with a headache and wasn’t able to eat much dinner. The hotel sent a driver to the chemist for me. Can’t complain about the service.
