Perth and Fremantle

Two days after my last exam (and after an enormous amount of beers) I caught a flight to the most remote metropolitan city in he world; Perth in Western Australia (WA). This gorgeous city is both beautiful and has a variety of cozy, alternative small pubs and fancy bars. I spend two nights here, and then moved on to the smaller sister town; Fremantle.

Three major advantages: Fremantle is right on the coast and thus has great beaches, the best brewery in the world, Little Creatures, is located here and Paul, the flower king himself, lives in Fremantle.

Though Fremantle is only a small town it still has great bars (Little Creatures) and if you’re into live music: Mojo’s. Besides that you find beautiful beaches, apparently one of the best places to kite surf (damn, why couldn’t I bring my gear??).
I also spend a day biking around Rottnest Island, which is located 30 min by ferry from the town. On this cute little island cars are a no go, and everyone has to bring/rent a bike. Awesome, it almost felt like home!
Paul was great, I spend the nights at his place and we explored the Fremantle night life together. I met Paul at Fremantle Prison on an interesting but long guided tour. Apparently Paul used to live in Frederiksberg, how random is that? He’s from Auckland NZ (hence kiwi) but lived in Melbourne before moving to WA because of work. Great guy, he just has to come visit me when I get back to Denmark.
My conclusion: Perth (Fremantle included) is the best city in WA.
