We were due back in Perth for a late afternoon flight back to Mel the following day. Decided to take a long drive down and stopped at a few places along the way.
Random shots:
We hadn't booked accommodation for the last night as I wanted to leave options on the table so halfway back to Perth I booked a night at The Cottesloe Beach Hotel.
When we arrived we were greeted with construction, noise and dust etc etc from some external works. So we cancelled (the Duty Manager was very nice about it) and I jumped on line and booked a (confirmed) night at The Esplanade in Fremantle.
Drove to Freo and went to check in. Was informed there were no rooms available... (?) Tired and annoyed I just shrugged my shoulders and walked off, put the suitcases back in the car and drove to the beach to calm down..
Jumped on the phone and booked back at Crown, so back to Perth we go. Another lovely night at the Crystal Club, breakfast, a swim and a late check-out.
Next day we drove back to Freo to have a look around and get a light lunch then headed for the airport and dropped off the (excellent) hire car.
Bit of a kerfuffle at PER when the luggage system went off line. My partner had a run in with one of the staff as she was basically yelled at for having an overweight bag during manual drop off. When I calmly pointed out that it was 27kg and we were allowed 32kg (for J and/or OWE) she got even more aggressive and yelled at us in front of the queue that "I don't care, you still have to pay for excess weight"
The irony is she was standing right in front of this sign when "arguing" with us.
I just glanced at the sign, turned away, ignored her and spoke to another lovely lady who just said "I'll handle it". I'm still not sure what the first lady's problem was.
Anyway, in to the J lounge and a lovely easy flight home on the A330.
